WINNERS
2024 Alisal Art and Poetry Contest
A Poetry and Art Contest open to all Alisal USD students
Art and poetry offer important avenues of expression for everyone, young and old. Now in its fourth year, the Art and Poetry Contest offers Alisal USD students an outlet to express themselves; to observe the world around them and find a way to express appreciation for it using their artistic and literary talents.
In this year’s theme: “A Good Leader is… What Do I Admire in a Leader?” students had an opportunity to reflect on who they consider a leader: Their teachers? Parents? Aunts or Uncles? Many students choose their teachers, and many also choose their parents. A few looked beyond and honored political leaders from the present and past.
We were encouraged to see many entries from RSP classes. Often, students who have special needs receive few opportunities to express themselves, and it was particularly rewarding to provide this avenue for their expression.
This was also the first year in which students were given the opportunity to submit their entries in Spanish, and we were glad to see one excellent entry. Congratulations, Osmar. Go Lions!
Thank you to all the teachers who encouraged their students to participate, and everyone who supported this contest by selecting winners or promoting participation. Winners will receive a $20 gift card and a medal. Presentations will be scheduled individually.
