‘My Holiday Wish’ coloring contest winner
Sophia Tracy, a 9-year-old student at South Fayette Intermediate School, won $2,500 for her school as the grand prize winner in the Edgar Snyder & Associates “My Holiday Wish” Coloring Contest. The contest, now in its 15th year, asks elementary-aged students in Western and Central Pennsylvania to draw their holiday wish. Sophia’s entry was chosen from over 3,500 entries. Her wish was “that everyone feels the holiday magic and has fun with family and friends.” Sophia’s entry also touched on the importance of friendship, reading and being a part of a family. “I think everyone deserves these things and should have them during (the holidays) and in life,” she said. In addition to the school donation, Sophia received a gift card and her artwork appeared on a billboard and on the firm’s holiday card.
