This year 920 students from 27 different schools in Cuyahoga County entered the Cuyahoga Solid Waste District's Earth Day Poster Contest. Students had to depict some aspect of composting. Although top picks were chosen because of their art work and best use of design and color there were many excellent student posters that did not make the top ten. Fortunately, with parental permission, Mrs. Kutis allowed us to scan student work into Artsonia. You can look at student artwork online at http://www.artsonia.com/, and even order a mug or note cards with student work on it.
Students recognized for being in the top ten of their grade were: Elizabeth P (3rd grade); Alexis H and Anna H (5th grade); Sarah C, Sarah D, Sean F, Alex P, and Brad S (7th Grade); Zach I, Clare P, LuLu S, and Ben W (8th Grade).
Each grade winner and runner up had their posters featured on the Earth Day Calendar. The four Birchwood students were: Shruthi R (1st grade Winner), Avi B (3rd grade Runner up), Pheby L (5th grade Winner), and Hannah Y (7th grade Winner).
