Springfield Upbeat
Earth Day Poster Contest
(Laura Keir – Presenter)
The 11th Annual Earth Day Poster Contest was a success with nearly 300 fourth grade students from
Springfield Public Schools participating. The 2017 theme is “Earth Educators!” We asked students what
they could teach others about being good stewards of the Earth, such as an action they’d like others to
take to help the environment or an interesting fact about our planet.
Mayor Lundberg and City staff chose the winning posters. The top five winners are as follows:
First Place: Sydney Lliona Sugg, Yolanda Elementary School
Second Place: Leia Bessett, Yolanda Elementary School
Third Place: Destiny LeAnne Rose Holloway, Yolanda Elementary School
Fourth Place: Khylee Rei Dornon, Elizabeth Page Elementary School
Fifth Place: Tucker Muhs, Maple Elementary School
The winning posters are on display in the City Hall lobby near the library. Ten students also earned the
distinction of being chosen as honorable mention finalists.
Thank you to all the Springfield schools that participated in this year’s Earth Day Poster Contest, and to
the fourth grade students for their creativity and for teaching us how to better care for our planet.
