PTO Fall Carnival Poster Contest



I took pictures of the kids on the way to school this morning. Every year Normangee has a poster contest. The poster contest consist of submitting a poster with a fall or Halloween them stating when, where, and what time the Fall Carnival will start and be. The contest is for kids from Pre-K thru 6th grade. Once the posters are judged, they are placed all over town advertising for the event which is put on by the PTO. Last year Cameron won 1st place-he received a $20.00 gift certificate to the book fair, Taylor didn’t place last year. This year, Taylor won 3rd place-$5.00 gift certificate to the book fair and Cameron didn’t place. We have fun each year making these posters. We look thru many coloring book pages until they decide which one they want me to draw and then I attempt to make them look like the coloring pages. The ultimate complement I got from the kids was the next morning Taylor woke up and wanted to see the picture I drew. She was so excited at how it turned out and told me, “Mom, it (poster) looks like an artist drew this!” She made my day. That comment was made about the poster I drew this year. I think they turned out cute.
