One of the highlights for Greek Heritage Month 2019 this coming March will be the TDSB Greek Heritage Month Multi-Media Contest, featuring original student & staff work in three creative categories:
1) Be graphic! Design a poster!
2) Sharpen your pencil! Write something!
3) Let’s get digital!
The focus of this year’s media campaign is: “Wisdom, Hope, Love – Σoφία, Ελπίδα, Αγάπη” How are these three virtues embraced by the Greek Culture?
Four groups qualify: K to Grade 3, Grade 4 to 8; and Grade 9 to 12; and TDSB staff. A winning submission will be selected from each of the qualifying groups.
