East Windsor 4th Grader Wins County-Wide Poster Contest

EAST WINDSOR, NJ – An elementary school student from the East Windsor Regional School District recently won a county-wide poster contest.

Logan Pablacio of Perry L. Drew Elementary School won the 2022 County Government Month poster contest, along with four other participants.

The contest, inspired by the National Association of Counties County Government Month designation, promotes awareness of Mercer County’s history, progress, culture and diversity. It was open to local fourth-grade students.

More than 70 submissions were received by the County Office of Economic Development, the contest host.

“While I, as your County Executive, believe that Mercer County is the greatest, it is refreshing to see that sentiment reflected through the eyes of our children in the more than 70 poster submissions we received,” Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes said.

“Congratulations to all of the participants, and to the teachers and parents who encourage and engage this bright generation, you have my thanks and gratitude.”

The winners were presented with award certificates, and all five students and their classmates received a pizza party celebration at their school.

Here are the top 5 submissions:

• Ben Hofmann, Parkway Elementary School, Ewing
• Kayleigh Hughes, University Heights Elementary School, Hamilton
• Logan Pablacio, Perry Drew School, East Windsor
• Maya Rogart, Littlebrook School, Princeton
• Krystina Stansbury, Paul Robeson Charter School, Trenton

Winning posters are on display at Mercer County Library Headquarters Branch in Lawrence.

All students who submitted a poster received a certificate of Honorable Mention.
