The Middle Smithfield Township Board of Supervisors on June 25 recognized student winners of an America 250 art contest and displayed copies of the top submissions for the public.
Christopher, the township parks and recreation manager, said the contest invited kindergarten through fifth-grade students at Russica and Middle Smithfield elementary schools and drew "about 85 submissions," with the parks and recreation committee selecting first-, second- and third-place winners in each grade and school. All participants received certificates; top finishers also received gift certificates donated by Wendy's.
The board said copies of winning artwork are displayed at the back of the meeting room and that each winner's artwork will be the centerfold of the township's summer newsletter to arrive just before July 4. The board also announced that the township will distribute sets of birthday cards printed with the students' art at Community Day on Aug. 1 and that completed cards will be displayed later at the township community center.
Winners present at the meeting were called up for photos; the board said gift certificates will be mailed to winners who provided contact details. "From the board, we thank you very much for all that you've done. Your artwork reminds us that the story of America is still being written today," a board member said while recognizing the students.
The board encouraged students and families to pick up flyers at the meeting for related events, including Community Day, and invited the public to view a press release and a gallery of submissions placed on the side table. No board actions or votes were taken on the contest.
