Contest winners

Mrs. Borwick’s kindergarten class at the Town of Webb School recently participated in a coloring contest through the Herkimer-Oneida County Dental Society in recognition of February as children’s dental health month. The contest was organized by graphic artist Valerie Cognetto, whose husband, Norman Cognetto, is a dentist in the Utica area. For the contest, students were asked to draw a picture about dental health. For each grade that participates in the contest, the first place winner gets to celebrate with a pizza party for their whole class, as well as a $50 gift card to Toys ‘R Us. The second place winner receives a $25 gift card to Toys ‘R Us. The third place winner receives a $20 gift card to Toys ‘R Us. For the Kindergarten entries, both the first and second place winners were students from Mrs. Borwick’s class. Christian Olsen, above right, was the first place winner, and Elizabeth Mitchell, right, was the second place winner. Cognetto visited Mrs. Borwick’s classroom on Wednesday, April 18, to announce the winners. BELOW RIGHT: Mrs. Borwick and her students welcome Valerie Cognetto to their classroom.
