Tree Board votes on Arbor Day Posters
By Jeanie Petersen, Sun Contributor
OXFORD – The Village of Oxford Tree Board met in the Oxford Village Hall to vote on the 2018 Arbor Day poster contest which students of Oxford Academy’s fifth grade recently participated in. The Oxford Village Tree Board, represented by John Godfrey, Gray Stevens, Jeanie Petersen, Sandy Dain, and Jean Curtis sponsor 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, “New York Loves Trees” was designed by the NYS DEC 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.
The fifth grade art classes of Charity Gipp and Jon Jankowski, the Oxford Academy Middle School Art Instructors, entered the contest. Of these 36 entries, three place winners were selected. They will be announced at an award ceremony and party on Wednesday, April 18, at the Oxford Middle School attended by Dr. Heather L. Fredenburg, the Middle School Principal. The students will be recognized and will participate in the Village Arbor Day ceremony on Saturday, April 28, starting at 9 a.m.
