East Windsor Is Hosting An Earth Day Poster Contest For Elementary Students

EAST WINDSOR, NJ — East Windsor Township is inviting elementary school students to participate in a creative Recycling Poster Contest in celebration of Earth Day.

Mayor Janice S. Mironov and the Township Clean Communities Committee are encouraging students to showcase their artistic skills while promoting environmental awareness. The contest is being held through the Township Clean Communities Committee.

The Theme of the poster is to promote any or all of the “4 R’s” of the Township Recycling Program Logo, which are:

• RECYCLE all items that can be recycled.
• REUSE other items rather than throw them out in the trash.
• REDUCE materials into their homes that then have to be disposed of.
• REBUY – i.e., buy goods that use recycled materials.

“The Recycling Poster Contest is to encourage young people, especially as we celebrate Earth Day, to focus on the importance of everyone practicing recycling to protect and preserve our environment. We look forward to our talented students demonstrating, through the posters, their tremendous creativity and true interests in helping green our earth,” Mironov said.

Student winners from Grades K – 2 and winners from Grades 3 – 5 will receive awards of a Gift Certificate to Barnes and Noble. The awards are being donated by Shiseido America.

Posters should be left by Wednesday, April 9, 2025 at the East Windsor Municipal Building Mayor’s Office.

Students should be certain that the back of each poster contains the student’s Name, Address, Phone Number, parent’s email address, grade level and school attended.

Contest winners will be notified, and awards, including a gift certificate to Barnes and Noble, will be made by Mayor Janice S. Mironov at an Earth Day ceremony. Winning posters will also be displayed in the municipal building lobby through May.
