Each year, Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative (SVEC) holds a Christmas card contest. Students from the elementary schools in the Suwannee Valley are invited to design their own Christmas card and submit it to SVEC. The Christmas card winners are then sent across the state to everyone that SVEC works with, including Florida legislators. Some are even sent all the way to Washington, D.C. The winners of this year’s contest are Adalyn Meherg from Branford Elementary School; Avery Tanzosh from Hamilton County Elementary School; Emily Cardona from Lafayette Elementary School; Lillian Pellicer from Suwannee Springcrest Elementary School; Adelmary Jeronimo from Suwannee Riverside Elementary School and Camryn Carter from Suwannee Pineview Elementary School. The designs will also be featured in SVEC’s January 2023 member newsletter, so all SVEC members can see the designs. The winning students received a special gift and their teachers were given $100 for classroom supplies.
