HARRISBURG -- Winners of Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful's Litter Hawk Youth Award program were recognized at a ceremony at the PA State Capitol Building on May 2.
Winning students, their families and legislators with winning students in their district were invited to attend a ceremony honoring the Litter Hawk Youth Award winners and participants.
The program, funded by the PA Department of Environmental Protection, provides a way for students in kindergarten through grade 6 to express their concerns about litter through art, words or video. Each participant completed a project specific to their grade level. The theme was "Open Your Eyes to Litter -- Show Us What You See."
Almost 1,000 students participated in this year's program. First- and second-place winners in each grade level received ribbons, certificates and a Litter Hawk decal.
Runners-up included Elizabeth Kalista, Grade 1 (poster), Holy Trinity Catholic School, Blair County.
Winning entries were displayed in the East Wing Rotunda of the Pennsylvania State Capitol Building in Harrisburg through May 23.
