Art students from the Marshall 6th grade Academy recently participated in the Lions International Peace Poster contest, designing posters to meet the contest theme of “Dare to Dream”.
Sixth grader Grayson Boerio claimed the top prize with his poster design showing the globe surrounded by people working ‘Hand-in-Hand’ to achieve peace.
The winners are:
1st place Grayson Boerio $100
2nd place Brissa Contreras $75
3rd place Evelyn Cabbage $50
Participation was awarded to 3 students:
Evalett Salinas $25
Maddy Pettine $25
Camille Toscano $25
The participating students worked under the guidance of their art teacher, Mrs. Suzan Lundy.
According to Lions Clubs International, Lions clubs around the globe have been sponsoring an annual Peace Poster art contest in schools and youth groups for more than three decades. Creating peace posters gives children everywhere the chance to express their visions of peace and inspire the world through art and creativity.
Local winning poster designs are eligible to be submitted for the international contest, with overall contest winners announced in February.
