BUFFALO GROVE, IL — Lucille Holloway, 10, realizes how important being with the ones you love is during the holidays. Artwork by the Prairie Elementary School fifth-grader was recently selected as the winner of Congressman Brad Schneider's annual holiday card contest. Schneider asked for submissions from 10th District students illustrating the theme "Time Together." Lucille Holloway (Photo courtesy of Congressman Brad Schneider's office)"Lucy's beautiful artwork shows the many ways we can spend time together this holiday season, especially after the last holiday season spent apart," Schneider said. "My hope is that Lucy's creativity will inspire all of us to come together in health, happiness and peace this holiday season." Holloway enjoys horseback riding, playing her violin, reading, and of course, creating art in her free time, according to a news release from Schneider's office. At school, she is proud to be part of the student government, with her favorite subjects being writing and art class. Holloway also finds herself busy at home with her older brother, Caleb, and younger siblings, Rebecca and Micah. She dreams of owning her own horse someday, and has even bigger hopes of one day leading others toward protecting and caring for our planet. Holloway wishes all her friends, family, and neighbors a happy, healthy, and safe holiday season. Schneider will meet with Lucy and her family next week to congratulate her.
