Fire Prevention Poster Contest Winners Announced

NAUGATUCK, CT - The winners of the annual Fire Prevention Poster Contest were announced at the Apr. 8, 2021 monthly meeting of the Naugatuck Board of Education.

Under Student Recognition on the Board's agenda for the evening, Fire Marshal Ned Dalton appeared virtually at the meeting. The fire marshal noted that it had been very difficult to choose the winners of this year's contest. The 2021 theme for the annual contest was "Everyone - Everyday." Dalton also thanked the Naugatuck Public School teachers for once again adding the contest to their curriculum so that students were able to participate.

The winning students were invited by Superintendent Christopher Montini to become participants for this segment of the meeting and appear onscreen. Several of the students and their parents were able to attend virtually.

Congratulations to all of the poster contest winners.

Fourth grade winners include two former first grade students of Naugatuck/Bethwood Patch Mayor Nancy Sasso Janis. In first place is Charlotte Huntley, currently in fourth grade at Andrew Ave. Elementary School and the second place winner is Kamila Leon, also a fourth grade student at Andrew Ave. Third place is awarded to Harold Corker, a fourth grade student at Maple Hill Elementary School.

Fifth grade winners include Dallas Autore, Kadence Marie McDivitt and Emmerson Mueller. All three of the students attend Cross Street Intermediate School.
