EAST WINDSOR: Township sponsoring Earth Day poster contest

   EAST WINDSOR — The township Clean Communities Committee is sponsoring a poster contest for all elementary school students to focus on Earth Day. The theme of the poster is to promote any or all of the “4 R’s” of the Township Recycling Program Logo, which are:
   RECYCLE— all items that can be recycled;
   REUSE — other items rather than throw them out in the trash;
   REDUCE — materials into their homes that then have to be disposed of;
   REBUY — such as buy goods that use recycled materials.
   Winners from grades K – 2 and winners from grades 3 – 5 will receive awards of a gift certificate to Barnes & Noble ($75, $50 and $25, respectively, for first-place to third-place winners).
   The awards are being donated by Shiseido America, a township release said.
   Posters should be left by Monday, March 25, at the child’s school administrative office or the East Windsor Township Municipal Building at the mayor’s office. Be certain that the back of each poster contains the student’s name, address, phone number, grade level and school attended.
   Winners will be notified and awards made by East Windsor Mayor Janice Mironov at an Earth Day ceremony at the April 16 Township Council meeting at 7:30 p.m.
   Winning posters will be displayed in the municipal building lobby during May.
