1st Annual Art and Essay Contest Winners

To celebrate our 2nd annual NativityMiguel Coalition Spirit Week (March 21-25), we held our first ever NMC Essay and Art Contest! We received 100 art and 65 essay submissions from 10 different schools! Our program committee was inspired by the words and images students shared on why they love their school and its future.

After much review and discussion, we’ve listed the winners of the Essay and Art Contest. All submissions that placed in the top 3 will received a gift card! With the students’ permission, below are the winners and their submitted essays or art piece.
