Ridgefield School District announces winning design in greeting card art contest

Posted

Sunset Ridge Intermediate School sixth-grader Madeline Bruguier took home first place in the Superintendent’s Holiday Greeting Card Art Contest for the Ridgefield School District last week. Her artwork was selected by judges as the entry that best exemplifies this year’s contest theme, “Winter Wishes.”

As the winner of the contest, Madeline’s design will decorate the cover of the Ridgefield School District’s holiday greeting card and she will receive a $50 cash reward. Along with Madeline’s design, three runner-ups were recognized. Elina Caine, a seventh-grader from View Ridge Middle School, Kelsey Heath, a first-grader from Union Ridge Elementary, and Mae Jones, a kindergartner from South Ridge Elementary, all received runner-up awards and a $25 cash prize for their winning designs.



The Superintendent’s Holiday Greeting Card Art Contest, now in its sixth year, got its start in 2014 by the Ridgefield School District in partnership with the Ridgefield Art Association to promote student creativity and encourage student appreciation of the arts.
