The Nutrition Committee of the Arkansas School Food Service Association (ASFSA), in collaboration with the Arkansas Department of Education Child Nutrition Unit, is sponsoring a nutrition poster contest. The American Dietetic Association’s National Nutrition Month theme for 2006 is “Step Up to Nutrition & Health”. This will also serve as the ASFSA contest theme.
Awards for the state level 5 division winners will include a $50.00 cash prize and a trophy. See the Entry Form for division breakdown by grades. There will also be a $300.00 scholarship for the state level winner of the Senior (Grade 12) Division.
The instructor/art teacher of each state level division winner will receive an award of $100.00 to be used toward the purchase of classroom art supplies.
The child nutrition manager at the school of each state level winner will receive paid ASFSA dues for the year 2006.
In order for district winners to be considered for state competition, the attached Poster Contest Entry Form must be completed and mailed or faxed to the ADE Child Nutrition Unit NO LATER THAN MONDAY, MARCH 20, 2006.
