The Lynchburg Lions Club and Lions Clubs International sponsored their annual peace poster contest again this fall.
The Lynchburg club encourages middle school students to develop a special poster on a theme related to promoting world peace. This year’s theme was “Peace Without Limits,” and a total of nearly 80 students participated in the local contest.
The club wishes to thank Ms. Free and the other staff members for supervising the contest at the middle school.
Five winners were selected, and they were given special certificates and cash prizes by the Lynchburg Lions Club. Six were selected to receive “Honorable Mention” recognition. All the participating students were given candy.
The top five winners this year, in order from first to fifth place, were Andrew Gossett, Kaitlin Miyashiro, Natalie Bohrer, Brantley Slack and Kelsey Davis.
Six additional students were given “Honorable Mention” certificates. They were Ally Carraher, Landyn Howland, Chris Balkeman, Alexis Purcell, Caleb Davis and Victoria Putnam.
All are sixth-grade students at Lynchburg-Clay Middle School.
Gossett’s award-winning poster was submitted to the district finals for competition at that level. Each Lions Club is encouraged to submit an entry from their local school. There are more than 50 Lions Clubs in District 13-OH6, and the Lynchburg club is proud to sponsor Gossett in the district contest.
Andrew is the son of Ronald and Lori Gossett of the Pricetown community.
