Auburn
and Lewiston Schools Participate in United's Coloring
Contest
During
the months of April and May, 3rd Grade students from
Auburn and Lewiston Schools participated in United's
2nd Annual Coloring Contest. This contest was developed
in efforts to celebrate National EMS Week which was
May 14th thru May 20th .
This
years contest involved a total of 211 students from
East Auburn Community School , Fairview School , Martel
School , Pettingill School , Sherwood Heights School
, and Washburn School . A goal for next years contest
is to include 3rd Grade students from other schools
within Androscoggin County . This goal is significant
as it may allow more students to think about Emergency
Medical Services (EMS) and its application in their
community.
As
in last years contest, students were asked to draw
a portrait based on “What they think of” when they
hear the following words: EMS (Emergency Medical Services);
EMT (Emergency Medical Technician); Paramedic; United
Ambulance; and Hospital.
All
the portraits that were submitted to United Ambulance
Service were displayed for employees to pick the “Top
5” as well as five portraits that would receive “Participation
Awards”. This process was very difficult to undergo
as all the portraits displayed artistic qualities
that were closely related to the “key words”.
The
“Top 5” portraits for this years contest were: 1st
Jordan C. Lau, Fairview School ; 2nd Colleen Coffey,
Pettingill School ; 3rd Nicole Landry, Sherwood Heights
School ; 4th Bernadette Racine, Martel School ; and
5th Katie Duvall, Fairview School . “Participation”
awards were given to: Darci Goslin, Washburn School
; Courtney Marquis, Martel School ; Faith McNeice,
East Auburn Community School ; Calli Murray, Sherwood
Heights School ; and a student from Martel School
. These students will each be given gift cards to
Staples and a United T-Shirt with their portrait on
the back.
All
the portraits, with the exception of those listed
above were donated to area Nursing Facilities so that
they could be shared with residents. This donation
was greatly appreciated by many of the facilities.
United would like to thank all the students who participated
in this years contest!
