Her winning entry graces the cover of this month’s Ojo. Alejandra will receive $300 (5); and, Alonso (17) will receive $200. Antonia Gabriela (12) and Jesús Eduardo (11) will each receive $100. Each child will also receive a certificate of achievement.
The LCS Children’s Art Program is extremely grateful to the Ojo del Lago for having sponsored this contest. It provides the children with a sense of accomplishment and pride. The contest also generated a significant number of holiday-themed cards for sale at this time of year. Each purchase of these popular cards provides the children’s families much needed additional income during the Holiday Season. As of mid-November, over 330 Holiday cards have been sold.
