CARS 4 CAUSES® HOLDS 5TH ANNUAL KIDS ART CONTEST
ByS. Madrigal

Seems like just yesterday when we were handing out the awards to 
the children from last years art contest.
Another year, gone already? Before you know it, we’ll be hosting our tenth art contest, my kids will want my car keys and I’ll be turning 30! ….o.k. 35, but a girl can dream!
But back to present day (whew!…..I feel better already). This month Cars 4 Causes® held it’s 5th Annual Kids Art Contest at the Santa Paula Elementary School District. Six schools from the district participated and, at the contest awards ceremony last week, one winner was chosen from each grade 1 through 5.
This year, the police chief, fire chief and the former mayor/city council member were the honorable judges and it was no easy task. I’ve been overseeing this contest for three years now and it seems like each year the submissions keep getting better and better. This year was, by far, the best work ever; making our judges selections very difficult.
But in the end, it was the Glen City Elementary, 1st grade; Barbara Webster Elementary, second grade; Blanchard Elementary, 3rd grade; Glen City Elementary, 4th grade; and Barbara Webster Elementary 5th grade, all crowned the winners of this years contest. READ THE FULL STORY HERE
Each student winner received an art kit. Each winning students’ classroom was awarded $1,000 from Cars 4 Causes®. And each winning students’ classroom chose an additional charity to receive $1,000 each. Those charities chosen by the students were; SPIRIT of Santa Paula – Many Meals Project (chose twice); Assistance League School of Ventura County; Make-a-Wish Foundation, Tri-Counties; and Locks of Love.
On behalf of Cars 4 Causes® I would also like to thank the staff and teachers of the Santa Paula School District, as well as the parents of the students for their enthusiasm and support for this project.
Cars 4 Causes® 2011-2012 Sixth Annual Art Contest will take place within the Pleasant Valley School District. This will include Camarillo Heights Elementary, Dos Caminos Elementary, El Descanso Elementary, La Mariposa Elementary, Las Posas Elementary, Rancho Rosal Elemantary and Tierra Linda Elementary.
