Through creative artwork, students in Kenton County illustrate“Why I Love America”

We are celebrating our 11th Anniversary of the Calendar this year!!!

The theme reminds us to remember the incredible freedom and opportunities the United States bestows upon us.  This contest is an excellent way for students to artistically reflect their feelings by producing creative and original pieces of art.  This annual calendar contest allows students the opportunity to reflect on our government and its history as well as modern day practices.

The contest was open to all kenton County students grades K-12.  A panel of judges selected 26 original works – one winner and one honorable mention from each grade – which was made into a calendar for 2012, Winning students received a $200 U.S. Savings Bond, and honorable mentions received a $50 U.S. Savings Bond.  The teacher of each winning student will also received a $50 check.  Additionally, both the winning student and his/her teacher are pictured in the 2012 calendar.  All proceeds from the sale of the calendar will benefit the Senior Services of Northern Kentucky. 

The following students are winners for the 2012 calendar contest:
