"Spruce Up For Spring" Contest Winners!

ArLynn Parker • March 18, 2026

If you've been following along in our monthly newsletter, you saw that we announced the winner of our recent Spruce Up For Spring coloring contest. We decided to kick the miserable weather to the curb and do something fun just in time for spring.

 

We put out the call, asking our educators to enlist their students' artistic talents. Inspired by Ballet Virginia's "Alice in Wonderland" at the Sandler Center, we asked them to draw their favorite scene from “Alice in Wonderland” or their favorite story.

 

They delivered! Sueann Barros, Visual Arts Teacher at Greenbrier Primary School in Chesapeake, sent us a drawing from one of her students that our team flipped for. Elsbeth (Grade 2) captured the spirit of Alice's adventure.
