Dear Editor,
On Thursday, November 21, City of Kingman Mayor Jen Miles and the Kingman Clean City Commission Chairperson Clarence C. Russell awarded certificates and prizes to the winning students of the 2019 American Recycles Day Poster and Poem/Essay Contest at the Kingman Council Chamber.
The Kingman Clean City Commission thanks the nine local schools and clubs participating from 29 teachers, with 672 entries for judging from pre-schoolers to sixth graders. The commission also recognized these teachers who encouraged their students to learn about recycling by submitting a poster or an essay/poem entry:
From KAOL Primary: Andrade, Brann, Delgado, Frisby, Jule, Medlin, Page, Pitts, and Schwab; KAOL Intermediate: Brazdys, Hopper, McLarty, Pettigrew, and Snelling; KAOL Middle: Scheidegger; KUSD Cerbat: Runkel, McCoy and Thurman; KUSD La Sanita Early Learning Center: Akers, Beyer and Hilderbrand; KUSD Manzanita: Chastain; KUSD Desert Willows: Camille Larson, Scott Larson, Neilion, and Osterman; the Club of YOUth: Bill Ward; and the Gardening Clubs at KUSD Desert Willows and KUSD Manzanita.
Much appreciation to Kingman businesses that supported this annual contest by providing donations to the teachers and additional prizes to the students. Our sponsors this year included Frozen Yogurt Island, Little Debbie McKee Foods Corporation, McDonald’s, Starbucks, and Taco Bell (Desert Del Oro).
Special thanks to the many families and friends of the winning students who supported them at the award ceremony at the Kingman Council Chamber. Please continue to practice the 3Rs: “Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!” Everyone has a hand in keeping Kingman Clean and Beautiful!
