This year, more than 200 students in the Lamorinda area submitted artwork for an international competition conducted by Lions clubs in over 200 countries. Pictured are the winners from Orinda Intermediate School, Stanley Intermediate School and Joaquin Moraga Intermediate School. This year's theme, "Kindness Matters," complements the local iKind program. The posters, which are on display at Lamorinda libraries through December, are amazing and graphically imagine what kindness looks like.
This is the 15th year Lamorinda schools have participated in this contest, which is open to students ages 11-13. The Lions are grateful to the dynamic art teachers in our three intermediate schools who were able to elicit this level of creativity.
