Students from Upshur and Randolph Counties among winners in State Fire Marshal’s annual calendar contest.
Artwork from a dozen students were picked this week for the 2020 wall calendar, which will be distributed statewide. The annual contest attracted 75 fire safety-themed entries from kindergarten through fifth grade children at schools in 15 counties.
The winning students in the north central area are third grader Miley Tallman from the Buckhannon Academy Elementary in Upshur County and fourth grader William Kilqore, Jennings Randolph Elementary, Randolph County.
Military Affairs and Public Safety Secretary Jeff Sandy judged the contest alongside Deputy Secretary Thom Kirk, Special Assistant to the First Lady Katie Speece and Christy Day, coordinator for the Office of Communications at the W.Va. Department of Education.
