ARBOR DAY ART CONTEST

National Arbor Day is April 30, 2021 and to celebrate we are hosting an Art Contest! Arbor Day is an annual celebration of trees and their importance to our community and the world! Across the State, communities honor trees and you can participate too. There is a whole world outside your window! Can you see any trees from your window? Does your family go to a park, so you can play, hike, or run under trees? Have you ever climbed a tree? Can you believe that just touching a tree connects you to the natural world and can help reduce some of the stress you might feel? We have learned that being around trees can help us concentrate, relax, and do better on schoolwork. Think about how trees invite YOU outside and what that means to you – then create an art piece that reflects the theme of “Trees Invite Me Outside.” Youth ages 3 to 17 residing in, or attending school in Temple City are invited to submit their art for Contest beginning March 29 through April 22. Draw, paint or collage a picture demonstrating how trees play an important role in our community. The winning artists will be awarded prize ribbons and special prize packs and winning submissions will be featured on the Temple City website and social media platforms.
