The ATT sponsors the Pogrund Family Judaic Artwork Contest for all of its grades  3-12 students of its affiliated schools. The goals of the contest are:

• To encourage students to do research on a chag
• To illustrate creatively and explain the relevance of that chag
• To allow students the opportunity of strengthening their commitment to Judaism through creative expression
• To encourage students to improve their communication skills in a different medium - art
• To recognize and celebrate our students’ creativity
