Calling All Artists!  This year’s Doodle for Google Art Contest invites all of our K-8 students to express their creativity by drawing their very own Google Doodle in response to the prompt “My wish for the next 25 years.”  The winning Doodle will be displayed on the Google homepage for 24 hours and be awarded a college scholarship!  You can learn more details about this exciting contest and how to submit your entry from the parent letter and forms sent home with your child.  *Students in grades 3-8 also have the forms posted in their Art Google Classrooms.  The deadline for submitting your artwork is March 14, 2024.  Questions regarding the contest can be directed to Mrs. Kerwin [email protected].        Good Luck to all and Happy Doodling!
