City Wide Cleanup - May 3, 2008

 

Coloring Contest

 

This year's cleanup was kicked off with a City Wide Cleanup 2008 coloring contest.  There were over 200 entries from several different schools, which were judged by 7 different judges.  The winner of the contest is Bryce Hunter, a fifth grader at J.L. Buford School.  His design will be scanned on the front of 1000 tie-dyed t-shirts.  He received a 4 foot trophy from Mayor Mary Jane Chesley and was recognized on WSIL-3 News, and also on WDML 106.9 FM radio station.  Bryce stated the reason he likes the cleanup is because he doesn't want to see the town dirty, and it builds pride among the citizens.  Bryce's principal is Mr. Patrick Rice and his teacher is Mrs. Purcell at J.L. Buford School.  His theme was "Making Mt. Vernon's Future" and how we as individuals are the key to the future.  He had fireworks exploding above the Abraham Lincoln Memorial representing the Land of Lincoln and the fireworks representing Mt. Vernon's future success.
