This year, we are celebrating the fun, unforgettable, and special moments that happen every day at PCLS. We invite all student artists to think back on their experiences and capture a favorite memory in a drawing. What is a moment from your time at PCLS that made you smile, laugh, or feel proud? What is a memory you will always cherish? We want to see it!

Log into the Registration System to enter the contest and you’re guaranteed a coupon. Aim for the top—an extra coupon awaits our top 3 winners and honorable mentions!
