The holidays are a time of joy, reflection and celebration, and in District 21, we want to showcase the diversity of holiday traditions across the globe! We invite all students to take part in this year’s Season’s Greetings Holiday Card Design Challenge, themed “Holidays Around the World!”

This challenge is an opportunity to creatively express the beauty of global traditions, honoring the many ways people come together during the holiday season. Your artwork could become the face of this year’s official holiday card for the district! We’re excited to see your interpretations of the theme, and can’t wait to celebrate the holidays through your creativity and artistic talent.
