What's The Best Thing About Hoboken? 3 Students Win Poster Contest

HOBOKEN, NJ — During the past school year, Hoboken students were encouraged to take the caps off their markers and put on their thinking caps when The Provident Bank asked them, "What's your favorite thing about Hoboken?"

The bank, located near the Hoboken train terminal, conducted a poster contest with that theme, offering a $25 prize to one student in each of three age categories.

A total of 217 kids in grades K-5 responded.

They said they loved dog runs, school, their friends, and the fact that they could walk everywhere.

The three big winners, chosen by Provident staff, were Nina Wilkinson, Macie Nizgoda, and Ella Resnick.

See their posters above.

Stop into the Provident Bank's local branch, more than 100 years old, located at 77 River St., steps from the Hoboken train terminal.
