“Many congratulations again to Kyle whose design looks fantastic on my Christmas card and to the runners-up, Natalia and Alex whose designs are featured on the back of the card. I would like to once again thank all the children who participated in the competition this year and wish them all and their parents and the school staff a merry Christmas and a very happy New Year.”
