2008 Annual Earth Day Poster Winners Announced
As the 38th annual Earth Day rolled around on April 22, all over the country millions of Americans in thousands of local communities celebrated the day. NETL participated by holding its annual Earth Day poster contest and by placing on display at NETL the entries submitted by area school children.
Students in grades Kindergarten through 5th grade participated in the contest. NETL chose a gold, silver and bronze winner from each grade level, judging on the basis of the number of entries received, originality, imagination, and innovative ideas. In some cases, the judging was close, so an honorable mention winner was also given.
Participating schools included South Park Middle School, Ben Franklin Elementary, Boyce Middle School, Greenfield, Green Valley, McAnnulty and Streams Elementary, all from Pittsburgh, PA; Valley Elementary in Arthurdale, WV; Smithville Elementary in Smithville, WV; Suncrest Primary in Morgantown, WV; Pleasant Valley School in Fairmont, WV; Hastings Elementary in Westborough, MA; and the Boys & Girls Club of Corvallis in Corvallis, OR. Photos of the winning entries are displayed below.
To close the event, NETL Earth Day medals will be presented to all winners and certificates will be given to all participants. |
