Andy Walker, a Grade 5 student at Paradise Elementary, wins Town Christmas Card Contest

Each year, the Town of Paradise asks local students in Kindergarten to Grade 6 to help us design our official Town Christmas Card. We get hundreds of entries, and it's a joy to look at each creative and colourful submission. It’s no easy task selecting a winning design, but this year Andy Walker, a Grade 5 student at Paradise Elementary, was our lucky winner!

Andy's festive design not only showcased the uniqueness of 2020, but it also highlighted the special spirit of the Town of Paradise. His design featured a bright Christmas tree, with children standing around it, all wearing face masks, with the phrase "Paradise Kids Are Strong, Christmas Must Go On!"

Thank you to all the students who entered our annual Christmas Card Contest, and a special thanks to Andy for designing a wonderful card for the 2020 Christmas season!
