UMS Winter Wonderland Door Decorating Contest

This year marked the 2nd time Urbandale Middle School and the UMS Art Department hosted their Winter Wonderland Door Decorating Contest. This year there were multiple rounds of judges that involved administrators, PTO members, and School Board members. The doors were judged based on their creativity, originality, J-Hawk spirit, skill, and student effort. There were so many fun and exciting doors this year and we look forward to seeing what the future years bring. Thank you to all of the students, staff, and judges who participated this year!
