Do you have a budding artist? If so, let their creativity flow with a poster contest promoting Turn Off the TV/Screen Week at Fireside. All students are invited to make a poster and turn it in to the school office by 3:30 pm Tuesday, April 6. Poster boards are provided.
Everyone who participates will have their poster displayed. The purpose is to remind people that National Turn Off the TV/Screen Week is April 19-25. Prizes are three $20 gift cards to Michael’s (arts and crafts) stores. There will be one for first overall, one for the best in K-2 and another for the best in grades 3-5.
Entries will be evaluated on: 1) Creativity and 2) How clearly the poster sends the message that turning off the TV or computer screen for a week can be fun!
To participate, please:
- Get a small white poster board from the school office.
- Write your name and grade on the back of the poster board.
- Include the words “Turn Off the Screen Week” on your poster.
- Draw an example of a fun activity you plan to do instead of watching TV or playing on the computer. (Such as: swimming, reading, working on a puzzle, family time, etc.)
- Turn it in to the school office BEFORE 3:30 pm Tuesday, April 6th to be included.
We have lots of fun family activities planned for Turn Off the TV/Screen week, so stay "tuned" : )
