Awards

Junior High Art Contest

The Downers Grove Junior Woman’s Club is sponsoring a Junior High Art Contest. Any individual artwork such as pencil, ink, painting or sculpture may be submitted and need not be a special piece created for the contest. All entries should be matted for proper display with the exception of sculptures. This contest is open to 7th and 8th Grade students who attend school in District 58 and District 66 Winning artwork will be displayed at the Downers Grove Public Library. Please click here for the form.

Outstanding Teacher of the Year

The DGJWC Outstanding Teacher of the Year recognizes three teachers in Downers Grove area schools who are truly special and remarkable in the field of education. To participate, a student must write an essay (approximately 60 words for grades K-3, 100 words for grades 4-8 and 200 words for high school) describing the teacher and what makes him/her special or outstanding. The essay does not have to be about the student's current teacher. Parents help those who are too young to write, but the entries are in the child's own words. The student with the winning entry has the opportunity to honor the teacher with a plaque courtesy of the DGJWC at the club’s March meeting. Click here for the nomination form.
