About Lions Club Peace Poster Contest

For over three decades, Lions clubs around the globe have been sponsoring a very special art contest in schools and youth groups. Creating peace posters gives children everywhere the chance to express their visions of peace and inspire the world through art and creativity. For peace to be anything more than a possibility, we need to make it a priority. This year, we’re asking our young students to create a poster that speaks to our world’s infinite potential for kindness once we commit to pursuing the idea of peace without limits. Students ages 11, 12 or 13 as of November 15 are eligible to participate in the International Peace Poster Contest. LEARN MORE >>

Our Second Graders were stylish magic reindeers tonight at their holiday concert! They walked, strutted, swayed, and sashayed on the runway before liftoff... They designed their dreams with their unique handmade antlers... and they sang in the holiday season with a grand finale, "Ready For Christmas!" These talented reindeer presented such an amazing performance! Congratulations to Ms. Senatore and the Bulldogs!
