The Peekskill Firefighters Association Local 2343 recently announced the winners of their Annual Fire Poster Contest and our talented students in grades K - 5 were among the honorees! The overall winner of the contest and the recipient of the Pete Volkman Award was Patrick Brunner of Ms. Castro’s third grade class. All awardees received a $50 gift card from the fire department as their prize with the exception of Brunner, who was awarded a $100 gift card.
