READING – Reading Municipal Light Department (RMLD) recently honored 36 students from 12 elementary schools in Lynnfield, Reading, North Reading and Wilmington for their winning entries into RMLD’s Elementary Student Art Contest.
A first, second and third place winner was selected from each participating school based on the artwork and message. Each winning student was awarded a Barnes and Noble gift card.
RMLD General Manager Coleen O’Brien, RMLD Board of Commissioners Chairman Robert Coulter, Commissioner Philip Pacino and Commissioner David Talbot honored three students from Huckleberry Hill School and three students from Summer Street School.
The Huckleberry Hill School students who won awards were first place winner Payton Jenkins, second place winner Brayden Stec and third place winner Hayden Bayer. The Summer Street School students who won awards were first place winner Lauren Martins, second place winner Dylan Moscoffian and third place winner Luca Glinski.
During the contest, fourth grade students were asked to design a poster demonstrating their knowledge of topics presented in an educational video produced by the RMLD including electrical safety, how electricity gets to the home and electricity and the environment.
In recognition of the effort local schools put forth in implementing the contest, each participating school was awarded a gift certificate for art supplies.
“RMLD would like to thank the teachers and faculty for their continued partnership in this important educational initiative,” said RMLD Communications Manager Joyce Mulvaney.
