Meet The Student Who Designed Hicksville's Holiday Card

Congratulations to Hicksville Middle School student Jasmine Roldan, the winner of the 2018 Hicksville School District’s Holiday Card Contest.

The annual Holiday Card Contest provides Hicksville students with an opportunity to put their creative skills to work in crafting a visual image for the district’s official holiday card. Jasmine’s design depicts a group of ice skaters holding hands while gazing at the moon during a snow shower. Eligibility works on a three-year rotation between the elementary, middle and high school. After reviewing the designs, art teachers submitted several top nominees to central administration for consideration.

“Jasmine has always been a standout in my class,” said her art teacher Kristin Powell. “She approaches every project with a unique perspective that allows her to create artwork that is not only technically strong but also moving and meaningful.”

Powell attributes much of Jasmine’s creativity to her overall versatility. She is involved in a variety of activities both in school and out as a member of soccer, volleyball, track, drama club, the Social Awareness Club, Student Council and the National Junior Honor Society. She is also an accomplished singer and has performed at Radio City Music Hall.

The Hicksville School District applauds Jasmine’s exceptional creative efforts and is very proud to recognize her for the creation of the distinguished cover art for this year’s holiday card.
