Join us to celebrate the opening of the 11th Edition of the Denton Black Film Festival and in partnership with the Denton Independent School District for its Annual Adopt A School Art and Essay Awards. Every year, the Denton ISD Adopt-A-School Program works with our elementary schools across the entire district to participate in the annual Art & Essay Competition. Every 4th and 5th grade student submits on original piece of artwork and an essay (written in English or Spanish) based on the yearly topic. We had such a wonderful experience working together last year for the awards. So, we have decided once again to collaborate on this year's theme, Resilience. By definition Resilience is the ability to bounce back from or adjust to adversity, challenges, or setbacks. It is the heart of endurance, the power of healing, and the strength to rise again, no matter how many times life may knock you down. Come out and see how these young minds interpret Resilience and what it means to them.
