Denton ISD's annual Adopt-A-School Art and Essay Contest took place under the Greater Denton Arts Council, in partnership with the Denton Black Film Festival and Meow Wolf.
The Denton ISD contest featured the recognitions of the top three fourth and fifth-grade district finalists in three categories: art, monolingual essay, and bilingual essay.
Every year, the Adopt-A-School Program works with elementary schools across Denton ISD to participate in the annual Art & Essay Competition. Every 4th and 5th grade student submits an original piece of artwork and an essay (written in English or Spanish) based on the yearly topic. In the spirit of partnership with the Denton Black Film Festival, the year’s theme was, “Resilience”.
By celebrating creativity and resilience, Denton ISD’s Adopt-A-School Art and Essay Contest inspires young minds to express and explore.
