GHA helps youngsters transform artwork into calendar

YOUNGSTERS from three Drumchapel schools have had their artwork
turned into a community calendar for 2012.
Staff at the GHA Drumchapel office invited pupils from local
schools to submit drawings for a calendar competition.
And they were bowled over by the standard of entries from the kids
aged 5 to 11.
After a tough job, they finally chose the winning 12 from St
Clare's, Antonine and Camstradden primaries. Their drawings now
star in the calendar which will be distributed to local people
through the schools and the housing office.
The artwork features a range of drawings from the seasons
throughout the year.
All the winning youngsters, their parents and teachers were
invited into the housing office in Dalsetter Crescent for a
presentation. Each of the winners received a £20 voucher and all
three schools were given a £50 donation to their Parent Teacher
Association.
Housing Operations Manager Karen McLaughlin said: "We work closely
with the Drumchapel community throughout the year but we really
wanted to do something with youngsters from the area, many of whom
live in our homes.
"The calendar competition was very popular and we were amazed at
the quality of the art. We're delighted the children's great work
will be on show in homes for the whole of 2012."
The winners were:
St Clare's - Kyle Riches, Abbie Taylor, Hannah Gangel, Yascah
Amer
Antonine - Faith Lewis, Taylor Fletcher, Kenzie Moir
Camstradden - Kaylah Mckee, Caitlin Gamble, Elle Frew, Rebecca
Riley, Amylee Hutchinson.
