Each year, we encourage students, parents and the general public to send thank-you notes to Virginia’s deserving public school teachers during Teacher
Appreciation Week. In its first two years, Virginians distributed more than 70,000 thank-you notes as part of the Thank a Teacher campaign.
This year, we’re looking for three student artists to have their artwork featured on thousands of thank-you notes distributed across the state as part of our
inaugural Thank a Teacher Art Contest. The contest is open to K-12 public school students, and one top-prize winner will be selected from each level:
elementary school, middle school and high school. The three winners will not only get to see their artwork featured on the 2018 thank-you notes, they’ll also
receive individual cash prizes and win money for their school’s art department.
