Student Welcome Cards

The Ministry of Education and VANOC invite all British Columbia K-12 students to produce artwork to extend a warm welcome to visiting athletes, team members and dignitaries. Cards will be placed on night tables in every guest room in the Olympic and Paralympic Villages in Vancouver and Whistler. The keepsake cards will include as many individual images from BC students as possible, and each will include the artist's first name, grade, school name, and school e-mail address. Including the generic school e-mail address gives the card recipient the opportunity to send a thank you to the artist and his school.

For complete details, view the Instructions to Submit Art. To see how your students’ artwork will appear on the welcome card, a sample card is available. If you have questions regarding the submission guidelines, please send an e-mail with the subject line “Student Welcome Cards” to sharingthedream@gov.bc.ca.

Please keep a school copy of the completed parent consent form granting permission to the BC Ministry of Education and VANOC to use the individual student’s art.

Help celebrate the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games and the spirit of global citizenship by showcasing our BC students’ art through the Student Welcome Cards project.
