Fitfth Grade National Arbor Day Poster Contest
By Tiera, 8th grade computer class student
February 24, 2010
All current Illinois fifth grade students are invited to participate in the Illinois Arbor Day Poster contest co-sponsored by the National Arbor Day Foundation and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). The winning poster is sent to the national competition. The Illinois Arbor Day Poster contest lets you combine art expressions with math and science to help your students meet education standards at the state (Science, Social Science, Fine Arts) and national (Science, Geography, Social Studies, Art) levels.
This year’s theme for 2010 is: “Trees are Terrific…And Energy Wise!”
The students were to draw posters about trees in cities and towns.
Each school will pick out the top poster to be sent in. We also picked the second and third place winners from our school. The first place winner is Palvee, the second place winner is Chelsey, and the third place winner is Issac. Honorable mention was Shelby. Congratulations to all of you!
Palvee’s picture was sent for national competition. They are our winners at Tri-Point Upper Elementary Junior High!
Congratulations to our winners!
