Addabbo Presents Citations in Recognition of NYS Senate's Earth Day Poster Contest

In recent weeks, New York State Senator Joseph Addabbo, Jr. visted elementary students around his district to present citations to students who took part in the New York State senate's Earth Day poster contest.

The senate held the contest to honor and celebrate Earth Day for children in Grades K-6, using the theme, “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.” Students were encouraged not only to be creative in their projects, but also to convey a real commitment to making the environment a better place.

By educating them about the importance of recycling, students will learn to be creative in solving the problem of solid waste. Participating students’ posters will be displayed on Senator Addabbo’s website. All the participating schools were limited to submit three entries per school.

Addabbo also dropped off senate citations to students at St. Margaret’s and Our Lady of Hope in Middle Village; St. Mary Gate of Heaven in Ozone Park; P.S. 97 in Woodhaven; P.S. 58 in Maspeth; and P.S. 64 in Ozone Park.
