Bill Newman and ArtIsHealthy.org teamed up to sponsor a Christmas art contest at Ralph Askins Elementary School. Each student was asked to decorate a stenciled drawing of a Christmas tree. Mr. Newman awarded the following winners:

1st Place - Chelcea Mitchell, $40 Wal-Mart gift card

2nd Place - Daiten Trentham, $25 Wal-Mart gift card

3rd Place - Hallie Powers, $10 Wal-Mart gift card

The first place winners’ teacher, Mrs. Pat Bowers, received a $100 Wal-Mart gift card for art supplies in her classroom. These winners along with Mrs. Bowers also received an ArtIsHealthy.org t-shirt. During the Christmas season, the artwork created by all Ralph Askins students was on display in business windows around the Fayetteville square. What a joyful and festive thing it was to see such imaginative work done by these awesome kids. ArtIsHealthy.org has been so proud to be a part of this great project with Mr. Newman. We thank him again for his generosity and support! Way to go kids!
