Welcome back to the third week of the Kane County Photo Competition, where the Kane County Regional Office of Education highlights the top 10 photos our students and teachers are creating in the classroom. This week we are excited to announce that Dundee Crown High School in District 300 has joined the contest!

So far this year, we’ve received 147 photo submissions. The photographers are making it especially difficult to narrow it down to the top 10 each week..
