Hello 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?
