With so many outstanding submissions to choose from it was impossible for Newton County School System (NCSS) Superintendent Duke Bradley, III to pick just one piece of artwork to feature on his official 2023 holiday card. In fact, he couldn’t even pick just two or three. Instead, 14 pictures created by Newton County School System students will be featured on the school superintendent’s holiday cards this year.
"I am truly amazed by the exceptional talent demonstrated by our students,” said Bradley. “The diverse range of submissions made the decision-making process a delightful challenge, as each piece showcased the creativity and skill of our young artists. I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the dedicated art teachers across our district, whose guidance and expertise have played a pivotal role in nurturing these talents. This accomplishment is not just a testament to the individual artists but also to the excellence of our fine arts program in Newton County Schools. I am confident that the recipients of our holiday cards will be as impressed as I am by the remarkable artistic abilities of our students. Congratulations to the talented artists whose work will bring joy and inspiration to our community during this holiday season. "
