“The annual Holiday Card Contest is a fun and entertaining way to get our ESE students in the holiday spirit while tapping into their creativity,” said Emly.  “We are truly grateful for Moletteire Injury Law’s sponsorship of the contest, as well as their support for children with disabilities through the arts.”
