CFSC is launching an inaugural annual poster art contest that is open to everyone in the community.

"CFSC is launching an inaugural annual poster art contest that is open to everyone in the community.
The theme for this year is racial justice. For those interested, the intent is to design a poster that commemorates one's hopes and dreams for racial justice, a world in which all are respected, valued, and able to thrive. We would love for you to share the details of the art poster contest with your children. If they don't understand the racial justice theme, what a great opportunity to spark discussion. 
 
To learn more about the poster art contest and on how you, your family and others in the San Carlos community can participate, please visit this website. "
