This year the Ocean County Council PTA announced they were having a poster contest and the subject was Anti Bullying and a "Wanted" poster theme. Our SEPTA received the application to put in an entry and it was decided that since Alex enjoys art and is talented in that area, that we'd try to submit an entry to the contest. The "Wanted" poster theme was over his head but the instructions stated the entry could be any anti-bullying poster.
This is what Alex came up with. He drew a DS and his self portrait (wearing his signature red POAC hat) and a behavior stoplight. In his class they use the stoplight - the kids start on green and if they go to red, then they don't get recess - yellow is a "warning" status.
Of course we were proud of what he came up with!
In May they announced the winners of the contest and we were thrilled to learn that Alex won FIRST PLACE in the contest overall. I was especially proud of him that his entry won against posters submitted by "typical" kids.
Way to go, Alex!
