Entries will reflect their own thoughts, experiences, hopes, or appreciation for America. Think about the people, places, freedoms, opportunities, traditions, challenges, or dreams that make America meaningful.

Twenty-eight District Finalists will receive $50, and the four overall District Winners will receive $100. District winners and their work will be recognized as part of Greenville County Schools' America 250 Celebration on Wednesday, February 17. All work must be original and created by the student submitting the entry. Student directions and entry forms can be found online and the event flyer is attached below.

Bell's Crossing is excited to continue our special relationship with the SmartARTS program for the 2026-27 school year. Students will work with an artist-in-residence to enjoy learning through arts integration in the challenge classroom. In the past, we have teamed with visual artists, theater artists, dance artists, a ceramics artist, and a landscape architect. It will be exciting to see where these lessons take us next year!
