3rd Annual UMS Winter Door Decorating Contest

This year marked the 3rd Annual Urbandale Middle School Winter Door Decorating Contest hosted by the UMS Art Department. There were multiple rounds of judges that involved administrators,  School Board members, and the Urbandale Police Department. There were even special judges (retired) Mr. Borchers, the reining champion, and Ms. Laizure. The doors were judged based on their creativity/originality when it came to the theme ‘sweets’, the incorporation of the J-Hawk Way, overall skill/clarity, 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!
