Every year during the holiday season, each member of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools Board of Education and the superintendent look through hundreds of original holiday cards submitted by students from across the district and pick their favorite holiday design. After the selections are made, the students who are chosen are recognized for their artistic talents with a certificate and their design displayed on the district’s website and the Cable 2 television network.
During the board meeting on Nov. 27, the 2018 Holiday card winners were announced. This year’s winners are: Alyssa Young (Diggs-Latham Elementary), Grace Johnson (Southwest Elementary), Makenzie Akins (Southeast Middle), Saraiyah Abreu (Kimmel Farm Elementary), Ellie Hobbs (Southeast Middle), Kalina Bassett (Children’s Center), Michele Viola (Reagan High), Emma Mikita (East Forsyth High), Ama Lyles (Atkins A&T High), and Arden Gentry (Career Center).
