NHRMS ~ Fire Safety Poster Winners

Congratulations to this year's fire safety poster winners at Nathan Hale-Ray Middle School: Julia Freeman and Samantha LaFemina for 4th grade and Audrey Puia and Nora Bevedas for 5th grade. 

Students participated in the annual 'Connecticut Fire Prevention Poster Contest' under the guidance and direction of 4th-grade art teacher Lauren Cryan and 5th-grade art teacher Beth Squires.

The entire 4th and 5th grade classes along with their teachers crowded together in front of the Nathan Hale-Ray Middle School in East Haddam this Friday morning. They were lined up eagerly anticipating the arrival of their classmates, who were treated to a ride to school on two of the East Haddam Volunteer Fire Department's engines.

The fire department awarded each of the four students with gift certificates and the winning posters will now be submitted to the Office of the State Fire Marshal to represent Middlesex County for competition with other schools and counties poster entries for the state-level contest.
