Santa and his famous red-nosed reindeer take a trip across a colorful night sky on this year’s holiday card contest winner from the Idaho State Department of Education. The artwork, by third-grader Brynlee Parce of Spalding STEM Academy, was voted as this year’s overall contest winner and will be featured on the SDE’s holiday cards. Her submission was chosen from more than 350 entries by students in kindergarten through sixth grade across the state. “Brynlee’s submission featuring the Northern Lights immediately caught our eye, and it was no surprise to see that after two intense rounds of voting, her amazing holiday scene came out on top,” Superintendent of Public Instruction Sherri Ybarra said.

 “Choosing from so many incredible entries is always one of our favorite challenges of the year.” Brynlee’s submission swept top honors for third grade and overall. Other grade-level winners are: Kindergarten: Sawyer Thill, Moscow School District First grade: Edmund Oberhansley, Jefferson School District Second grade: Beckett Tucker, West Ada School District Fourth grade: Michelle Dotson, Lewiston Independent School District Fifth grade: Kate Cole, Lewiston Independent School District Sixth grade: Christopher Crouch, West Ada School District Check out all of the winning art on the State Department of Education website
