Mary Welty Elementary School

The Arizona State Treasurer’s Office together with AZ529, Arizona’s Education Savings Plan, are asking Arizona kindergarten through 6th grade students to picture their future careers and the education they need to achieve their dreams. The fourth-annual AZ529 Future Career Art Contest, which launches today, asks students to bring their dreams to life on paper. Students are asked to draw, paint or find a creative way to make artwork representing their dream job. A total of 15 winners will be selected across the state and receive $529 towards opening a new or existing AZ529 Education Savings Plan account. One winner will be selected from each of Arizona’s 15 counties and at least one winner each representing a district, charter, private school, tribal school and homeschool will be selected. Winners will be honored by Treasurer Kimberly Yee during a special ceremony at the State Capitol at the end of March. Please see attached flyer for more details. Turn in your projects with your teacher.
