HEALTH DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCES ANNUAL ENVIRONMENTAL POSTER CONTEST
The Allegheny County Health Department( ACHD) announced the start of its annual environmental poster contest for all students in Allegheny County who are currently in grades six through eight. This will be the health department’ s 18th year holding the contest.
This year’ s theme is“ Bright Ideas for Conserving Energy.” Students are being asked to consider different activities that impact our use of energy on a daily basis. What can they do to conserve energy?
“ We all need to learn ways to practice energy conservation in our everyday lives,” said Health Department Director Dr. Karen Hacker.“ The poster contest is a great way to encourage students to really think about ways they can conserve energy and come up with a unique visual to support their ideas.”
Students are encouraged to think about both large- and small-scale solutions for conserving energy. Posters should highlight their ideas and solutions. They will be judged on creativity, accuracy of information, and the strength of the message.
The top three winners will be announced on Friday, April 21, in conjunction with Earth Day celebrations. The winning posters will be presented on the health department’ s web site.
Teachers who would like to have their classes participate in the poster contest should visit the environmental poster contest page at achd. net / air / postercontest. html or contact Alaina Conner of the health department’ s Air Quality Program at 412.578.8106 or Alaina. conner @ alleghenycounty. us.
The deadline for entries is March 10. The top three winning students will receive a $ 75 gift card to Barnes & Noble. The teachers of the winning students will also receive a prize of a $ 50 gift card to Staples.
