Winning Students’ Schools Receive Buddy Benches
In November, four Bald Eagle Area students were named among the 12 finalists in a poster contest co-sponsored by Weis Markets and Centre County Recycling & Refuse Authority.
Students were challenged to create posters that reflect the theme “How My Buddies and I Recycle.”
BEA finalists included:
- Marlando Jones (Wingate Elementary)
- Quentin Muirhead (Snow Shoe Elementary)
- Niziah Noone (Howard Elementary)
- Joseph Jones (Port Matilda Elementary)
All winning students’ schools received buddy benches, donated by Weis Market. These benches, made from recycled plastic bottles, serve as a place where students can sit, resolve their differences, and become friends.
Additionally, winners received $25 Weis gift cards and framed pictures of their posters. The winning posters have been used to create a free 2017 calendar which can be picked up at local Weis Market stores.
