CHESHIRE, CT — A Cheshire elementary school student was recently honored as a winner in the 19th Annual eesmarts Student Contest.

More than 600 students throughout Connecticut submitted projects for consideration. Twenty-nine entries from 19 schools in 16 Connecticut communities were selected as this year’s finalists.

Finalists attended an awards ceremony on May 7 at the Connecticut Science Center and received their prize and certificate.
