Special thanks to Mrs. Tanya Hoffmann for suggesting this year’s theme of the Crime Alert Berks County poster contest: Stranger Danger! Be Safe Online! All Berks County students in grades 4 and 5 are eligible to participate. Now is the time to prepare your ideas. All entries must be on an official entry form, which should arrive in early February.
Here’s How To Participate:
- Ask your 4th or 5th grade homeroom teacher for an Official entry form. Forms will be available in early February 2024.
- Draw a poster that will make others aware that with all that’s going on in the world today, the most important thing to remember is to treat others with kindness. Acts of kindness transcend race, religion, politics, and economic situations. It can heal many differences among individuals.
- The words Stranger Danger! Be Safe Online! must be included as a larger part of your design. You may add additional words you think are important.
- You may use crayons, markers, paints, colored pencils, or cut paper to make your poster colorful and bright.
- Your artwork must be done by hand. Any computer-aided design entries will be disqualified and ineligible for judging.
- Your design must be drawn on the Official Poster Entry Blank.
- Your design must fit within the BLANK space provided in side the Entry Blank.
- Fill in your name, age, Cornwall Terrace Elementary, Homeroom teacher name, and grade on the space provided on the back of the Official Entry Form
- Return your entry to your homeroom teacher, who will forward to Mrs. VanOstenbridge, by Monday, March 4, 2024. The judging will take place in mid to late March.
