National Heritage Awards - Feb 2008

Winners of the 2008 National Heritage Poster competition in Middleton’s four elementary schools were recognized by the Middleton Sertoma club. The top three posters from each school were on display. Each of the four of the first place winners and their parents were present for the awards at Fitzgerald’s.

This year’s theme was “America and my Heritage”. This past week with President’s Day honors some of our outstanding leaders in history and we honor many of the heritages that made our country. Middleton Sertoma has again sponsored the competition for 5^th grade students in the four Middleton elementary schools during our National Heritage Week. Many excellent posters where submitted. They were judged on expression of the theme, following the guidelines, use of color and creativity. We had many entries with nearly 60 from ELm Lawn. We very much appreciate all the time and talent invested into this contest and congratulates all the participants on a great job.
