SEYMOUR - Today the
two winners of the Fire Prevention Poster Contest for Seymour received a
special treat. They were allowed to ride to school in style, on board
Seymour Fire Department’s Rescue 12. The winners were accompanied by a
parent and had the chance to see where the firefighters ride to
emergencies. The lights and sirens may have even been turned on for a
bit.
Chatfield-LoPresti School fifth grader Sam
Rodrigue was selected as the winner for Seymour from the fifth grade. He
and his father Glen were picked up at home and were able to take the trip to
school. CLS fourth grader Jade Rinaldi was selected as the winner for
Seymour from fourth grade. She was accompanied by her mother Jessica
Hubinger.
The
winner’s posters have moved on to the New Haven County round where they will
compete against other posters from the area. Eventually one winner will
be chosen for the State from each grade. One poster will be selected to
be the cover of next year’s fire prevention calendar.
The
annual Fire Prevention Poster Contest is a cooperative effort of the Office of
the State Fire Marshal, Connecticut Department of Education, Connecticut Fire
Marshal’s Association, Connecticut Fire Chief’s Association, and the
Connecticut FAIR Plan, which represents the Connecticut Insurance Industry.
Congratulations to all of our winners and
thank you to all the students from Seymour’s Schools that participated.
We hope they had as much fun working on them as we did judging them and
awarding our winners.
