North Branch Area Middle School students had the opportunity to create a Peace Poster for a contest with the North Branch Lions Club. Art teacher, Lee Ann Falen, and Lions Club member, Bob Olsen, worked together to offer students the challenge of visually representing what the contest theme of “Harmony in Humanity” could look like. Students with birthdays between the dates of 11.16.2012 and 11.15.2015 were eligible to participate. A total of 18 students submitted a poster project.
The final results were:
1st place with $100 prize--7th grader Rowan Hagenbuch
2nd place with $75 prize--8th grader Mercy Havrilla
3rd place with $50 prize--8th grader Molly Williams
The next step is having Rowan’s drawing move on to another round of judging. This is an international contest, so only one project from many countries will be chosen as the overall winner. A HUGE thank you to the North Branch Lions Club for hosting the contest and for the generous cash prizes. ~ North Branch Area Middle School
