Winners of Earth Day Contest Announced
Winners of Recycling Committee Scavenger Hunt
The third annual Earth Day contest in Hudson’s elementary schools sponsored by the Town Recycling Committee was a huge success with over 410 entries submitted by Earth Day, 2011. The contest was focused on students searching Committee approved recycling websites in cooperation with teachers and parents to find the answers to five basic and three bonus questions related to Earth Day and recycling facts.
All five elementary schools participated with the highest numbers of contest entries received from Presentation of Mary Academy (PMA), Hills Garrison School and Nottingham West (NWES). The class with the highest numbers of entries was Room 305 at NWES, closely followed by NWES Room 408 and PMA 5JD.
Winners of the contest are Paola M. fourth grade, NWES; Amanda N., first grade, Hills Garrison; Brad D., fourth grade, PMA; Corey O., third grade, HO Smith; and Tom B, first grade, Library St. Certificates and prizes will be awarded by the Selectmen and representatives of Enterprise Bank at the Board of Selectmen’s Meeting on Tuesday, May 24, 2011. Certificates will also be presented to the schools and popsicle parties are planned for the classes with highest levels of student participation.
Previous contests in the elementary schools include a poster contest in 2009 and a slogan contest in 2010 which resulted in four winning slogans (see below) which appear on banners in the schools and other town venues.The number of entries in the Scavenger Hunt far outnumber the earlier contests and demonstrate the enthusiasm and commitment to protecting the environment through recycling among the youth of Hudson.
