We thank all the children, who worked so hard on their drawings for our contest, and all the teachers and parents/ caregivers who encouraged them to enter. This is our last edition of 2016 and we will now take a two-week break. The office will close on Friday, December 22 at 2:00 p.m. and will reopen on Monday, January 5 at 8:30 a.m. Our first edition of 2017 will be published on January 12 and the deadline for that edition will be 5pm Monday, January 9. We also thank our readers and advertisers for their support this past year.
