DUE TO GOOD FRIDAY, DEADLINE EXTENDED TO APRIL 1

Each year we provide approximately 25,000 colorful, two-pocket homework folders to Catholic students, compliments of generous business underwriters—they’re our gift to you.  Students in our listening areas of Omaha, Council Bluffs, Lincoln, Northeast Nebraska, Central Nebraska and North Platte are invited to use and enjoy the folders in whichever way best serves their needs.

The folders are printed with the artwork from the winners and runners-up from our annual Catholic Schools art contest. Each year, the winners’ artwork is printed on the covers and featured on our web site at spiritcatholicradio.com. Both students and teachers have their names announced on Spirit Catholic Radio in the spring and also win a variety of prizes.

Information was sent to all Catholic schools and home schools in the listening area. Contact your school's art teacher for more information. Below, please find the specifics of the 2013 school folder art contest. 

The theme of the contest this year is Holy Families in the Bible. This can be any family in the Bible!
