Redmond fifth grader Olivia Griffith, a student at Tom McCall Elementary, was selected as one of 13 winners in a statewide annual calendar art contest sponsored by Oregon Agriculture in the Classroom.

Olivia’s artwork was selected among 2,116 entries submitted to the contest, which showcases diverse agricultural and natural resource commodities.

Olivia’s artwork featured a Black Angus cow in a field and can be viewed on the January 2022 page of the calendar.

“We have a lot of beef cows in Oregon and the Sisters Mountains in the background represent the Central Oregon region where I live,” said Olivia.

The 13 students selected to be featured in our 2022-2023 calendar received a $50 award and a certificate. The winning artwork is displayed on the Oregon Agriculture in the Classroom website and at the Oregon State Fair, which runs through Labor Day in Salem. Calendars are free to Oregon teachers, and can be ordered for $4 on oregonaitc.org/shop.
