The entries received from local fourth and fifth grade students for the 2021 Connecticut Fire Prevention Poster Recognition Program are on view at Newtown Community Center.
Originally intended for display through Sunday, January 16, the collection will remain on view until the close of business Monday, January 17. Deputy Fire Marshal Jamilynn Zapata who coordinated the contest for this year’s students, contacted The Newtown Bee on January 10 to confirm the one-day extension.
The public can view the collection any time the community center is open, and it will be open on MLK Jr Day, which is one of the reasons it will remain on view the additional day. The annual statewide program is open to all public, private, and parochial children in grades 4 and 5.
