Six students win competition

Six area fifth graders will compete Saturday in the state poster contest for Tar Wars, a national anti-tobacco education program.

The students, who created posters that express the positive effects of not smoking, can win a chance to enter the national contest in Washington, D.C., in July.

Local poster winners are: Brittany Edmison of M.J. Christensen Elementary, Sha Drena Simon of Ronzone Elementary School, Kate Sukeyasu of Frank Kim Elementary, Kelly Crossley and Jordan Kopf of the Meadows School and Meghan Haines of St. Viator School.

For more information, call 228-5822.

Money offered by Junior League

Clark County teachers may apply for $100 to $1,000 grants for funding class projects that enhance students' learning environment through the Junior League of Las Vegas' annual Education Grant program.
