Montverde Academy is excited to announce the winners of this year’s Montverde Day Poster Contest, where students in grades 1-5 were invited to showcase their creativity by illustrating one of four unique themes: Lumberjack Show, America the Beautiful, Olympics, and Voting/Democracy. Each class from grades 1-5 celebrated students’ artistic achievements by awarding first, second, and third-place winners for their inspiring artwork. Special recognition goes to third grader River Napoles, who received the distinguished Best in Show title for his exceptional poster. All posters were displayed at the annual Montverde Day Festival.
