Elementary Poster Contest a Success!

February 24, 2008

Thank you to our judges, Gail Brant, Principal of Susanna Moodie; Stacey Belanger, Principal of Harmony; and Kerry Donnell, Communications Officer for HPEDSB for their efforts in determining the winners of our first Board-wide Poster Contest.

The winner of our Primary Division, with the topic of 'Litterless Lunches', was a student from Prince of Wales. Her poster scored very high in Overall Impression, one of the many criteria for selection. Runners-up were students from Prince Charles, Belleville and from Queen Elizabeth, Belleville.

The winner of the Junior Division was a student from Prince of Wales P.S. Her message and colourful delivery set her submission apart. Runners-up were from Frankford Public School and from Stirling Jr.

Our Intermediate winner was an environmentally conscious student from Tyendinaga. She not only sent in a very colourful painting, she also attached a very sincere letter to Mother Earth with a promise not to pollute and always recycle. Runners-up included students from Prince of Wales and Frankford Public School.

Well done, to all our winners! A special thank you goes out to all of our participants. Your involvement in EarthCARE makes us proud!

We intend to display all of the posters during our spring event. Please, remember to have a look at our talented, creative student work when you join us for this special presentation.
