South Mountain Students Win County Poster Contest

Two fourth-graders receive medals in 'My Essex County' Poster Contest.


In a ceremony held at the Essex County Court House on May 23, two South Mountain Elementary School students were among the 15 winners of the annual "My Essex County" Poster Contest.  

Country Clerk Christopher Durkin hosted students from across Essex County and honored their creativity.  Fifteen winners were selected from more than 700 entries. Zoe Lynch and Hannah Rose Saurborn, both 4th graders, received an engraved medal and certificate and their art work will be featured in the upcoming 2014 Essex County calendar.  

The contest celebrates the people and places that make Essex County unique.  A special thank you to their teachers Mr. Brent Jones and Mrs. Tamara Murphy for encouraging these local young artists.
