Dear Students,

Thank you for all of your beautiful and inspiring Earth Day artwork submissions.

This year we received many posters that exceeded expectations! We enjoyed seeing many pieces that creatively reflected New Jersey's plants, wildlife, animals and insects.

We are also excited to share your artwork with Yantacaw school. In May, a printed copy of each winning creation will be displayed on the PTO bulletin board for all of Yantacaw to view.  An Earth Day video will also be shared to digitally display and celebrate all of your artwork submissions!

Contest winners will be announced during school on Friday, April 29th and recognized at the May 17th PTO meeting at 7pm (in-person and hybrid). Prizes, a Butterfly Garden with caterpillar voucher, will be distributed to all winners. 

Good luck to all students!

We encourage you to continue to learn more about the EARTH and to keep expressing and sharing your ideas through ART!

 Happy Earth Day 2022
