Mini Masterpieces Art Contest

The Art Challenge is one element of our Full STEAM Ahead initiative, and it's all about creativity! 

This challenge is open to all of our #TeamWestwind creative minds – students from grades 1 through 12 and our talented staff members. It's more than just a contest; it's a canvas for your imagination, a platform to showcase the unique artistic talents we have across the division!
