Oxford Tree Board votes on Arbor Day posters
OXFORD – The Village of Oxford Tree Board met April 5, in the law office of Roger Monaco, to vote on the 2012 Arbor Day poster contest which students of Oxford Academy’s fifth grade recently participated in. The Oxford Village Tree Board, represented by Gray Stevens, Roger Monaco, John Godfrey, Dale Johnson and Jeanie Petersen, sponsors the contest annually on the local level of the Arbor Day Poster Contest.
Oxford Academy’s fifth graders were invited to show off their artistic flare and science knowledge to demonstrate the poster theme. The theme, “Trees are Terrific and Beneficial” was designed to increase the student’s understanding of the importance of trees in a community and how they affect the health and well being of our environment.
Some of the poster contest criteria included that they be original and only made by fifth graders. Poster entries could be done in marker, crayon, paint pens, watercolor, ink, acrylic, colored pencil, and/or tempera paint. The artworks had to be clear, related to the theme, use eye-catching colors, and have clarity of wording.
Three fifth grade art classes of Charity Gipp, the Oxford Academy Middle School Art Instructor, entered the contest. Of these, three place winners were selected. They will be announced at an award ceremony and party in an Oxford Middle School art class attended by Kathleen Hansen, the Middle School Principal. The students will be recognized and will participate in the Village Arbor Day ceremony on Saturday, April 28. All 45 of the entries will be on exhibit that morning in the gallery of 6 On The Square.
