The Hillsborough Education BORO PRIDE project recently sponsored a Postcards for Kids art contest.
The artwork, embodying the theme “We are All in This Together,” was reviewed by Board of Education members, administrators, Assemblyman Roy Frieman, Mayor Shawn Lipani, Sunnyside Gifts owners Shannon and Dave Winters, Schools Superintendent Lisa Antunes, BOE President Jean Trujillo and the HEA Pride Committee.
Close to 200 students from Auten Road School, Hillsborough Middle School and Hillsborough High School submitted entries with one winner selected from each school. The winners each received a gift card and their artwork was reproduced on postcards distributed to elementary school staff to be used to acknowledge the good work of students.
The grand prize winner, Jessica Hermann, will have her artwork displayed on a billboard in town.
Other winners were Jeremy Csobor-Bray, a seventh grader at Hillsborough Middle School and Akshaya Suresh-Kumar, a fifth grader at Auten Road Intermediate School.
