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 2024-2025 yearbook. The runners-up artwork will appear on the back cover of the yearbook.  All art work and the artist's photographs may be used as clipart in the yearbook. 

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

Cover theme :  Being mindful of the recent tragic traffic collisions in and around Fremont and the gun violence in this country especially in the schools- we feel it is highly significant we give our students (through this artwork) a chance to better understand and become aware of the safety in and around roads and schools. Through this contest, we hope the students find time to sit and read, become aware of the rules of safety. 

The topic for this year's cover page contest is-  "SAFE SCHOOLS- SAFE STREETS"

• Leave a ½” bleed border around the edge of your artwork. No text should be within ½” of the edges of the page. Bleed is like a border all around the page, color that too.
• Fill all the space with colors even the bleed border.
