Woodstock Student Wins Educational Foundation T-Shirt Contest

Woodstock High School junior Tucker Jones is the winner of the Cherokee County Educational Foundation’s first-ever T-shirt design contest.

The Foundation invited all Cherokee County School District students in grades sixth through 12th to submit a design for the organization’s 2015 T-shirt that represents the organization and its theme, “For the Love of Education.”

Tucker’s design was chosen by Foundation’s board members from the numerous entries received, and on Friday, Nov. 21, he was surprised in his advanced graphic design class with the news of his win.

He received a $100 Visa gift card, a Credit Union of Georgia gift bag and a Foundation 2015 T-shirt featuring his winning design. His design features the organization’s apple tree logo inside the outline of an apple with the words “For the Love of Education.”

The 2015 T-shirts are for sale for $10 from Dec. 1 through Jan. 9 at all district schools. Anyone interested in ordering a T-shirt may contact the front office of any school; adult and children’s sizes are available.

The Foundation’s mission is to support the students and staff of the Cherokee County School District by promoting teaching and learning and celebrating achievements. The Foundation seeks funding and resources to help schools in areas not fully funded in the regular school program such as grants for schools, teacher and students.
