Montclair Whole Foods, Library Hold Arbor Day Poster Contest For Kids

Whole Foods partners with Montclair Library to present a poster contest for children in kindergarten through fifth grade for Arbor Day.

From Montclair Whole Foods: The Montclair Whole Foods and Montclair Public Library are holding a poster contest for local children in grades K through 5 in celebration of Arbor Day. “If Trees Could Speak” invites children to create a poster depicting the benefit that trees provide for our community. The contest, co-sponsored by the Montclair Environmental Commission and Whole Foods Market Montclair, and supported by the Montclair Public Library, is running through May 8.

According to organizers:

"All you need is 8.5” by 11” paper and some crayons, markers or paint to participate! You can drop off your submission to either Whole Foods Market Montclair (and receive a $5 off $25 coupon just for submitting) or swing by the Montclair Public Library (main branch; 3rd floor children’s section) to drop it off."
