Happy #ThoughtfulThursday! This week, we're thinking about responsible decision-making and how making ethical, constructive choices about personal and social behavior is a key component of #SEL. We want to know: What are some ways that you help others in your family or community?

Be like BO!

Botham Jean embodied positivity, energy, compassion and joy. He was a man who served others unconditionally and saw the best in everyone.

The Botham Jean Foundation and Big Thought invite our young creators to BE LIKE BO! by utilizing their creativity and artistic skills to create an original piece that will uplift, brighten and/or service the community in the spirit of Botham’s guiding principles.

Students are invited to enter and showcase their creative skills with an original piece of art in their choice of medium (charcoal, acrylic, pencils or other artistic technique).

The BE LIKE BO! Art Contest is open to ALL students but geared to elementary and middle school students in the following categories:

Category 1: Students Grades 2 -5
Category 2: Students Grades 6 - 8

-- Upload your original artpiece (art must be no smaller than 8.5″ X 11″ and no larger 11″ X 17″).

-- Art must be uploaded by August 31 at 11:59 pm

-- One winner will be selected from each of the two categories receiving a cash award of $225.00.

-- There will also be an overall contest winner of $500.
