Monday evening Tracy Jackson, superintendent of the city street and alley department and head of the city forestry program, along with assistant superintendent Russell Wright, presented some very big prizes to three District 27 second-graders.

Jackson said 148 students entered the contest this year. As always, choosing the best three was a very difficult process, but in the end two young ladies and one young man walked away with the top three honors.

First place went to Korynn Huffman, who attends Northwest School. Second place went to Eathan Chaney, a student at Washington-Monroe, and third place went to Bailey Follis, who attends Adams School.

First-place prizes included a D.A.R.E. kick ball, an MP2 player from the street department, a Culver's stuffed animal with an ice cream cone, free food from McDonald's, $10 Wendy's gift card, $3 Dairy Queen card, Stuffed-Aria pizza, two cosmic bowling passes from Logan Lanes and four Lincoln Theater tickets.

Second and third place received a Culver's stuffed animal with an ice cream cone, D.A.R.E. kick ball, $10 Wendy's gift card, $3 Dairy Queen card, Stuffed-Aria pizza, two cosmic bowling passes from Logan Lanes and two Lincoln Theater tickets.

All the second-graders in the district received bowling passes and free McDonald's cheeseburgers.

The winning posters will be placed on display at Culver's restaurant.
