Newton County School Superintendent (NCSS) Samantha Fuhrey is inviting NCSS students to design the cover of her official winter holiday card. The contest is open to all NCSS elementary, middle, and high school students.
 
Students are asked to design a theme that reflects winter in the school district; Covington, Georgia; the holidays; etc. All ideas are welcome; however, in an effort to be inclusive of the entire NCSS student body, only nonreligious themes and language will be considered.
