Last Call: Christ is Risen Poster Contest
Saint James School invites students in our K – 8 program to participate in the Knights of Columbus’ “Christ is Risen” poster contest. The contest is intended to make our youth think about the importance of the resurrection, to provide an opportunity for families to discuss the resurrection, and to provide students an opportunity through their artwork to express what they envision when they hear “Christ is Risen”.
Attached are copies of the Entry form and poster/student rules.
