What does peace look like through the eyes of a child?
Once again, our students set out to answer this profound question with brushes, pencils, and boundless imagination as ISR took part in the Lions International Peace Poster Contest for the third consecutive year. Today, we had the great pleasure of hosting the award ceremony at ISR, celebrating the young artists and their remarkable works.
This year, 32 students participated in the contest, and choosing the winners in age groups 11, 12, and 13 proved to be no easy task, as every poster was both thoughtful and artistically impressive. We are proud to congratulate this year’s first-place winners: Lena, age 11; Sophie, age 12; and Selina, age 13.
The students who secured second and third place in each age group were also recognized with a small prize from the Lions Clube Helen Keller, a wonderful gesture that acknowledged their outstanding efforts.
We were particularly honored to welcome Ms. Bettina Schulenberg and Mr. Ruud Alblas of the Lions Clube Helen Keller, who joined us on site. Ms. Schulenberg led the celebration with great joy and warmth.
Our heartfelt thanks go to the Lions Club Helen Keller Neuss for once again giving our students the opportunity to participate in this meaningful international project.
We also wish to thank our dedicated art teachers, Ms. Schultz and Ms. Henebry, for their excellent guidance and inspiring mentorship throughout the creative process.
Above all, we extend our warmest gratitude to our talented students for their commitment and for the time and passion they devoted to their artworks. Their enthusiasm truly embodies our ISR motto: It’s cool to be good!
We are already looking forward to next year’s contest!
