Elementary school students paint Christmas card motifs for the mayor

Colorfully decorated Christmas trees and three snowmen. This motif adorns this year's Christmas card from Mayor Joachim Weber. It was painted by Marlene Reich from the fourth grade of the St. Nikolaus elementary school in Konz.

The picture is part of a painting competition launched by the Konzer-Doktor Community Foundation. Every year children from a different primary school paint creative Christmas pictures. The classmates then decide for themselves which pictures the mayor should get. He in turn chooses the final motif for his card.

“The pictures I got were all great,” says Joachim Weber, praising the talent of the primary school students. “Like every year, the choice was very difficult for me.”

The mayor personally thanked the little artists during a visit to the elementary school. As a Christmas present there was a small financial thank you for the class fund.
