Hi everyone!!

We are inviting all Chadbourne Elementary School Students to enter their drawings in our Yearbook Cover Design Contest. 

The winning selection will be displayed on the front cover of our 2026-2027 yearbook. The top nine runners-up artwork will appear on the back cover of the yearbook.  All art work may be used as clipart in the yearbook.

First Prize:  Design featured on the yearbook cover and a  FREE yearbook

Cover theme : Chadbourne 2050: Fast Forward to the Future
Description: Imagine you just stepped into a time machine and zoomed all the way to the year 2050. What will Chadbourne look like in the future? Fun Ideas to Get You Thinking:
- How do you get to school? Are students riding a flying school bus, or being dropped off in self-driving mini-cars?
- What does your classroom look like? Do you have a robot assisting your teacher in class? 
- What will recess and lunch time look like? Is lunch arriving by drones?
