CHANUKAH 5782
Creativity unleashed!
Youthful creativity and imagination abounded in this year’s varied entries in the IJN Doris Sky Chanukah Coloring Contest. The children found all kinds of ways to depict menorahs, family gatherings and — a common theme — latkes.
As students returned to their classrooms this year, they worked on their art both in school and on their kitchen tables at home. The media the kids used ran the gamut from crayons and markers to paint and collage materials.
