Neal Communities, a local homebuilder, recently teamed up with Williams Elementary in Parrish for the “My Favorite Home” art competition.
Students in kindergarten, second and fifth grades were asked to create their ideal home using a variety of mediums.
Winners were selected from each grade level, and two designs are featured on the homebuilders’ holiday cards.
Art teacher Stefani Lis said she’ll use the donation to buy supplies for future projects and art materials to support students.
My Favorite Home art contest has been hosted by local elementary schools since 1999, with the exception of two years during COVID.
Judges included: John Neal, President of Neal Land & Neighborhoods; School Board Chair Chad Choate; School Board Member Richard Tatem; Anne LeBaron, CEO of Take Stock in Children-Manatee; Jennifer Hamey, Chair of Parrish Civic Association; Michael Williamson, Division Chief of Parrish Fire District and Carlos Puente, VP of Sales & Marketing for Neal Communities.
