United Way of Greater Niagara Drawing Contest

United Way of Greater Niagara partnered with Barker Elementary School to host The Secret Life of Everyday Things drawing contest, inviting students to use their imagination to bring ordinary objects to life through art. Students from across the school submitted creative, fun, and imaginative drawings that gave personality and stories to everyday items.

Following an online community vote, the winning artwork by Olivia Silversmith was selected and transformed into a large banner that will be proudly displayed at Barker Elementary School. The contest celebrated creativity, storytelling, and student expression while bringing families, friends, and the community together in support of local youth.
