Three students at the University of Memphis Campus School were named the top artists in this year’s holiday card art contest. Katherine Parker’s first-place artwork is featured on the University’s holiday card, which was emailed to more than 65,000 people.

The first-, second-, and third-place winners were announced during a school assembly Dec. 3.  Winners from each of the School’s classrooms were also recognized.

The top three honorees received a monetary award and a certificate of appreciation. The first-place winner’s artwork will also be framed.

Katherine Parker is in Jennifer Cordero’s fifth-grade class. Her parents are Emily and John Parker II of Memphis.

The second-place winner, Martha Humber, is in Ashley Arnold’s second-grade class. Her parents are Lori and David Humber of Memphis.

The third-place winner is Joe Melvin Tunstall, who is in Undria McClendon’s first-grade class. His parents are Terence Tunstall Sr. and Roshanna Martin-Tunstall of Memphis.
