Hillsborough Student Art Contest Celebrates Community Strength

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — The Hillsborough Education Association (HEA) Pride Committee announces a new community project called Postcards for Kids seeking "the Best for BORO."

"The project was created with the goal of bringing our community together and sending some extra support to our students as they navigate these difficult times," stated the Hillsborough Education Association.

Students in grades 5 to 12 are being asked to create a postcard design based on the theme, "We are All in This Together".

Submissions will be evaluated by a panel of stakeholders including Board Of Education members, administrators, community leaders like Assemblyman Roy Frieman and Mayor Shawn Lipani, Shannon and Dave Winters from Sunnyside Gifts, and the HEA Pride Committee.

Three winners will be selected, one from each school and the winning designs will be made into postcards. (See flyer below for full details)

The postcards will be made available to elementary staff to send an uplifting message to a student or celebrate their successes during such a challenging time.

The contest will run until Jan. 31 and the winners will be announced the third week of February. Winners will receive a $25 Amazon gift card.

This project is funded through a grant from the New Jersey Education Association and unites members of the community under the BORO PRIDE banner.
