Pennsylvania Dental Association Announces Winners of Annual Statewide Third-Grade Student Poster Contest
HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA, USA, April 13, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Third-grader Davin Palmer of Dillsburg Elementary School in Dillsburg, York County will receive a $500 prize for winning first place in the Pennsylvania Dental Association’s (PDA) 2022 National Children’s Dental Health Month (NCDHM) statewide poster contest.
Davin’s prize-winning entry creatively depicts this year’s theme (“Sealants Make Sense”) using a seal doing tricks with dental supplies and the headline, “A ‘Seal’ant Today Keeps Decay Away.” Davin will be presented with his framed winning poster and $500 prize by a PDA member dentist later next month. Both Dillsburg Elementary School and Davin’s teacher, Ms. Alicia Hammock, will also receive prizes of $250 each for being part of first place in PDA’s contest.
Our second-place winner is eight-year-old Jordyn Sylvester from Smithfield Elementary in East Stroudsburg. Jordyn created a poster also honoring this year’s theme, “Sealants Make Sense.” She created the superhero, “Captain Sealant,” who is protecting a mouth from junk foods and germs with the headline, “Resist Decay, SEAL Your Teeth Today.” Jordyn will receive a $250 prize and a certificate of recognition.
Third-place winner Malia Walker, an eight-year-old from Middle Smithfield Elementary in Monroe County says, “Captain Sealant Remains Undefeated!” She also created a “Captain Sealant,” but this time the captain is a boxer fighting in the ring against tooth decay! Malia will receive a $100 prize and a certificate of recognition.
The winning posters were selected from more than 210 clever, well-designed entries submitted to the PDA Central Office for judging. The contest was open to third-grade students in any Pennsylvania public, private or charter school. More than 1,500 schools were contacted for participation.
