Our 2024 to 2025 Artwork and Drawing Contests had wonderful submissions from Elementary, Middle, and High Schoolers across the state.
The winning students and schools were invited to attend Developmental Disabilities Day at the Legislature, where they were honored online for their inspiring work by the Maryland Department of Disabilities and the Maryland State Department of Education.
Check out their artwork in the video below!
