Arbor Day Poster Contest

 

Each year Utah State holds an Arbor Day Poster contest. The Theme for this year's contest was "Trees are Terrific and Need Our Care". Carol Day is our Gifted and talented teacher here at Mapleton Elementary School. She asked all of our First Grade students to participate in the contest. You may see the students posters displayed in the hallway by the gym.   Much to our surprised Miss Leah Pollock from Miss Jeri Thompson's Class, not only won the school contest but is also one of twelve Utah State winners. She is pictured here with her poster which has already been published by the State on a calendar which she is holding.  On Friday, April 26th she will be honored as a winner at the Utah State Capital.  This is the first State winner Mapleton Elementary has had since the contest began. We would like to personally congratulate Leah and thank her for sharing her talent.  Thanks also to Mrs. Day for her help and to all the students for so  willingly participating!Leah Pollock won first place for the 1st grade at the Utah Arbor Day Poster Contest.  There was an award ceremony at Red Butte Garden in Salt Lake.      In Mapleton City Park the first grade classes helped the City plant a flowering pear tree.  The City gave our school a carved meadow lark so that we can remember that Trees are Terrific
