Heading level 2 Town Buildings.

Several Sudbury town buildings have department doors decorated for the holidays. Attached on each door are several stockings with a name scrawled on each one, and several angels are placing gifts into them. One angel is being assisted by an elf that is hastily gift-wrapping a booklet as described in the following description, graphic.

The ACCESS Angels (from the Accessibility Center for Consulting, Education and Support Services) are deploying throughout Massachusetts. They are delivering gifts to every elf in each department’s holiday stockings, wrapping up booklets and optical discs from the link, Accessibility Training Resource link, Center. Meet an angel today!

Heading level 2 The Workshop.

A jolly legendary figure studies a checklist titled Accessibility Objectives By Role. On a nearby desk rests a printed memo titled Accessibility Awareness for Leadership, graphic.

To ensure the holidays can be enjoyed by everyone, the ACCESS Angels have prepared a set of objectives even for elves that send email messages or go shopping.

Editor’s Note

This is the digital edition of the contest entry for Information Systems into the Sudbury Town Offices Holiday Door Decorating Contest 2025.

Entry description
A digital edition of A Holiday for All is available online. Spoilers follow in the rest of this description. This educational exhibit indicates how the decorations would be expressed when read by a screen reader (specifically, Windows Narrator). This promotes inclusivity and raises awareness for content creators on how their content (such as these decorations) would be perceived, so authors can account for this when meeting upcoming federal requirements for their email messages, online postings, and procurement.
