Students
asked to design covers for 2008 Dakota STEP
No one ever said tests were fun. But a new
promotion might help. The South Dakota Department of Education
is conducting a design contest for next year’s Dakota STEP
covers. Winning students will earn a $100 savings bond from
Citibank and the right to have their artwork featured statewide
on the 2008 Dakota STEP.
The Dakota STEP is given in grades 3-8 and
11 each spring. Each grade has a unique test and test booklet
cover, which means seven winning artists – one per grade level.
Here’s how the contest works:
-
Students in grades 3-8 and 11 are eligible to participate.
-
Teachers can access the template for this contest.

Teachers should print out the template and assist students

-
Teachers mail entries to Gay Pickner, Department of
Education, 700 Governors Drive, Pierre, SD 57501, by

-
Winners for each grade level will be announced mid-May.
-
All submitted artwork becomes the property of the South
Dakota Department of Education.
