Colorful posters promoting the health benefits of hydration are now on display in a first floor hallway, created by the 16 students in Mrs. Hoover’s 4th grade class. The students have been graded on their poster projects, which were completed in late April, but also have the opportunity to win a prize for their efforts. A staff panel of judges reviewed the posters this week and the top three will be entered in a healthy hydration poster contest sponsored by the AtlantiCare Healthy Schools program. If an ACS poster is chosen as a winner, the student artist will receive a $50 VISA gift card.
“The students were challenged to create a poster that was creative and eye-catching, while providing facts and details about the importance of staying hydrated, and I think every student did an excellent job,” said Mrs. Hoover. The study unit also included choosing water over caffeinated and sugar sweetened drinks, which do not promote healthy hydration.
