Students: Show Your Creativity & School Pride
All students are invited to create an "advertisement" for your school - a piece of art that answers the question "what makes your school special?" and features anything that is meaningful to the student about their school and school community. The artwork should represent the school.
One representative piece of art from each school will be displayed at the Building a Passion breakfast, published in an event newspaper to be distributed to the 300+ guests, and may be used in other NEF communications.
Deadline has been extended to Wednesday, February 7, 2024
