Eita was honored during an event at the Hamburg Fairgrounds in December along with other award recipients, families, and educators.
Through the annual WNY United Art & Poetry Contest, students submit original poems and works of art. Winning submissions are displayed at the Erie County Fairgrounds along with the Drive Safe Tree for the entire month of December. Students also receive cash prizes for their work.
According to WNY United, inviting young people to engage in prevention celebration messages is a key element in encouraging youth to choose productive, positive, healthy habits and lifestyles. These poems and artwork allow us to engage them by supporting them in the creation of their own positive messages, for themselves and their peers.
Submissions were rated by judges based on creativity, clarity of the message and craftsmanship.
