Calling all 4th Grade Teachers!

Your students can play an important part in the 10th Annual Help Make Rochester A Litter Bit Better! city-wide litter collection event by participating in the poster contest! We are looking for artwork from 4th grade students in the City of Rochester that tell a story about littering in our community.

One winner will from each participating school will be selected by a panel of judges. These school winners will be awarded an official A Litter Bit Better! t-shirt and a letter of appreciation from the Mayor of Rochester. These students will be invited to be a part of the Rochesterfest Parade!

A grand prize winner will also be selected from the pool of school winners. The prize? A pizza party for the class and special guest, Mayor Ardelle Brede of Rochester! The winner poster will appear on the RNeighbors website and in print publications in Rochester, including the “I will not litter” pledge card that is distributed to every 4th grader in Rochester. Additionally, the grand prize winner’s teacher will receive a $100 gift certificate to Office Max.
