It’s Another Win: Kujawa Elementary School Student Takes 1st Place in National Magnet School Poster Contest
The IB World School has had a student earn a spot in the top two positions of the contest since 2014.
This is Miguel Frías’ award-winning poster design. The Aldine ISD fourth grade student at Kujawa ES is in the poster design. He decided to do a self-portrait of himself as an artist (second from left).

The [icons icon_name=”icon-external-link” icon_size=”14px”]contest forms part of National Magnet School Month celebrations. The initiative highlights and promotes magnet schools across the country. This year students had the option to express or interpret one of the magnet school pillars or all five.

Students compete in one of three levels: elementary, middle and high school level. Online voting took place during National Magnet School Month. Voters selected the top five posters from each level. Students had to adhere to the theme as well as provide a clear and concise message. They also voted on originality and organization as well as the use of color and design.
