Safety Poster Contest Begins Sept. 1st

 
Cuivre River Electric Cooperative (CREC) invites the fifth grade students of Lincoln, Pike, St. Charles and Warren counties to participate in the Cooperative's seventh annual CREC Safety Poster Contest. The theme for this year’s contest is “Electrical Safety & Me”.
 
The CREC Safety Poster Contest will offer awards for both fifth grade students and their teachers. The first place winner will receive a $100 gift card, second place a $75 gift card, and third place a $50 gift card. Each fifth grade teacher who submits 10 or more entries will receive a $25 classroom grant from Cuivre River Electric Cooperative.
 
A select panel of CREC employees will judge the safety posters created by the fifth-grade students. The winning posters will be exhibited in the CREC Headquarters. The winning posters will also be featured on our website at www.cuivre.com.
 
The CREC Safety Poster Contest is part of a continuing education program designed to inform students about electricity and electrical safety.
 
The contest reinforces the electric safety messages that Keith Mueller presented to them the previous year as fourth graders. Cuivre River Electric is dedicated to the education and safety of children in the CREC service area.
 
Only fifth graders, and their teachers in the CREC service area, are eligible to participate in the contest. Entries will become the property of CREC and will not be returned.
 
The deadline for participation is Friday, October 29. For more information on the CREC Safety Poster Contest call 800.392.3709 ext. 230.
