15 Reading 4th Graders Honored In RMLD Art Contest

READING, MA — Fifteen Reading fourth graders were among the students honored for their artwork recently by the Reading Municipal Light Department (RMLD).

In RMLD's Elementary Student Art Contest, students from Reading, Wilmington, North Reading, and Lynnfield Center — the areas where RMLD supplies power — were asked to design posters demonstrating their knowledge of topics like electrical safety, how electricity gets to the home and sustainability.

A total of 36 students from 12 elementary schools were honored, with first, second and third-place winners selected from each of the participating schools. The winning posters, which can be viewed online, were chosen based on the artwork and message.

The awards were handed out by RMLD representatives, including General Manager Greg Phipps, at a March 21 ceremony.

Each of the place-winners received a Barnes & Noble gift card. The participating schools also were awarded a gift certificate for art supplies, after having received supplies for the contest.

The winners from Reading were:

• Wood End Elementary: Isabella Godsoe, Kyle Newman, and Floyd DiMattia.
• Killam Elementary: Mimi Saric, Cameron Barry, and Myla Rios.
• Barrows Elementary: Addy Hillary, Nola Hillery, and Abby Reynolds
• Birch Meadow Elementary: Matthew Caplan, Danny Carrol, and Finn O'Brien.
• Eaton Elementary: Lana Hays, Mallary Newell, and Zamiyah McCoy.
