Design contest for 5th-graders!

Design Contests for 5th-Graders
 
 
All 5th-grade art classes are working on entries for three current contests:
1. PFE's spirit wear for 2016-17
2. Cover design for PFE's 2016-17 yearbook 
3. "This is how my buddies and I recycle" poster contest (sponsored by the Centre County Refuse and Recycling Authority & Weis Markets) 
 
Details for each contest are listed below for students who'd like to work at home.  Although art class time will be provided for creating entries, past winners have invested a lot of time and effort outside of school.  
 
Spirit wear (including t-shirts and sweatshirts) will go on sale later this fall.  Yearbooks will go on sale later in the school year.  It will be exciting to see one of our 5th-graders work published and displayed!  Feel free to email Mrs. Wassom (mrw26@scasd.org) if you have any questions that aren't answered below.
