The Committee thanks all the children, schools and parents who participated in thisyear's contest. This year the entries were judged on Wednesday May 15th! The winning entries for each grade from this year are viewable on this page.

Awards night was held on Friday, May 24, 2013 at Father Smith Hall. Over 150 participants and family members filled the Hall. It was a lovely ceremony which lasted until about 9 pm. Rabbi Morton Pomerantz offered a beautiful invocation, Chairman Jim Rodgers spoke about the history of Memorial Day. Our neighbor, Jim Fox, a military veteran, presented the medals.

Refreshments were served by our volunteers, including Rosemary & Joe Dubowski, Janet Bishop, Irene Cheung, Ralph Barba and several others. Il Sapporo afforded us a generous discount on the pizza. We raffled off a selection of gift cards and baskets donated by area merchants as well as two beautiful china vases donated by CA Antiques.

The winning art and essay projects are available for public display on our web site.

All winners are invited to march in the Memorial Day Parade starting in the Third Division under a special banner supplied by the Committee .

Many teachers, principals, parent coordinators and family members attended the awards ceremony. All winners received age appropriate educational prizes. The Grand Prize winners each received a $500 check.

Again, many thanks to all for your support.

God bless America!

Sincerely,

Barbara Quigley, Kay Glover & Peggy Kalesis
