Earth Day Poster Contest
The 5th graders at Elroy Elementary took part in an Earth Day Poster Contest sponsored by The
National Energy Technology Laboratory in South Park. Students in neighboring schools from grades
K-5 were invited to design an original and imaginative theme-based poster to help the NETL spread
the word about Earth Day 2019. Eva Pasquarelli showcased this year’s theme: “Protect Our Earth, Care
for Its Creatures” in a very creative way. Eva’s poster won second place and will be displayed at the
U.S. Department of Energy headquarters in Washington, D.C. and all NETL sites. Her poster will also be
posted on The Earth Day page of NETL’s Education website. Please make sure to look at Eva’s poster.
