| The Home Representative
Club (HRC) of Collinsville was very excited to host the 5th annual President's
Day Coloring Contest for students at Collinsville Wilson Elementary. The
2015 HRC Coloring Contest committee members are Carolyn Brinkley and Rusti
Howard. HRC is a civic organization dedicated to community improvement
by enhancing the lives of others through volunteer services. For over
50 years HRC has sponsored many projects for the community. Just some
of the programs that have allowed HRC the opportunity to help the students
of the Collinsville School system are: * Sponsor the annual Mother/Daughter Senior Tea for CHS graduating senior girls; * Award a college scholarship to a graduating senior; * Sponsor the Outstanding Sophomore HOBY Award; and * Organize and donate Christmas baskets full of new toys, clothes and food gift certificates to children in the Collinsville school system from the Angel Tree. With the help of the Wilson Elementary staff, HRC implemented this contest five years ago and each year it has proven to be educational, fun and exciting for the students. This year each student received a Presidents Day Bookmark and each classroom received a book about Presidents Day. The classroom teacher at Wilson Elementary speaks to their students about the meaning of President’s Day. The students then color a picture that they feel best represents their interpretation of President’s Day. The children are not allowed to put their names on their papers, instead the teachers assign a number to the student’s paper. Each teacher then chooses the top three best pictures from their classroom and those papers are given to a judge who has over 40 years experience in art. This judge then volunteers their time to judge the pictures on neatness, creativity and how the student best represents “What President’s Day means to me”. The Home Representative
Club would like to thank the Wilson Elementary teachers, students and
staff for their support regarding this event and Wilson Elementary Principal,
Cheryl Hunt and Office Secretary, Kendra Salisbury for their continued
support and help.
Congratulations to all! Submitted By: Rusti Howard and Carolyn Brinkley (2/20/2015) |
