For more information about how to celebrate and to help children in Grades 3-5 participate in a poster contest, check this website “Arbor Week Poster Contest”.

Also available is a free kit that includes lesson plans and the contest rules. Please share this announcement with other educators working with Grades 3-5 in classrooms and after school programs. Thanks!
