STAMFORD, CT — Stamford Public Schools Superintendent Tamu Lucero and Mayor David Martin have announced the winners of the 2020 Seasonal Greeting Card Art Contest.

Superintendent Lucero selected artwork created by Stamford High School Art Teacher Timothy Eaton-Koch (Teek) to use on her holiday greeting card. Mayor Martin chose artwork submitted by Cloonan Middle School Special Education Teacher Melissa Giandurco.

In years past, the superintendent and mayor asked SPS art teachers, from either elementary or secondary schools, to submit student work for consideration. However, due to challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, this year the contest was instead open to all SPS staff members.

Staff members submitted their artwork electronically, and Lucero and Martin blindly selected their winners from among those submissions.

In addition to having their artwork featured on greeting cards that will be shared with hundreds of community members, Teek and Giandurco will be recognized at the Regular Board of Education meeting scheduled for Jan. 28, 2021, will receive blank greeting cards featuring their own artwork and receive classroom supplies for their school.

The artwork can be viewed on the district website.
