Student Poster Contest to Promote Recycling for Earth Day

East Windsor Township, through the Township Clean Communities Committee, is sponsoring a Poster Contest for all elementary school students to focus on Earth Day.

The Theme of the poster is to promote any, or all, of the “4 R’s” of the Township Recycling Program Logo, which are:

• RECYCLE all items that can be recycled.
• REUSE other items rather than throw them out in the trash.
• REDUCE materials into their homes that then have to be disposed of.
• REBUY -  buy goods that use recycled materials.

Winners from Grades K - 2 and winners from Grades 3 - 5 will receive awards of a Gift Certificate to Barnes and Noble ($75, $50, and $25, respectively, for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place). The awards are being donated by Shiseido America.

Posters should be left by Monday, March 25 at your School’s Administrative Office or at the Mayor’s office within the East Windsor Township Municipal Building. Please be certain that the back of each poster contains the student’s Name, Address, Phone Number, Grade Level and School Attended.

Winners will be notified and awards made by East Windsor Mayor Janice Mironov at an Earth Day ceremony at the April 16 Council meeting at 7:30 p.m. Winning posters will be displayed in the municipal building lobby during the month of May.
