Local elementary students create Arbor Day art
Vancouver elementary students won second and third place in the Washington State Arbor Day Poster contest.
Stella Won took second place and Ciana Yi third with their artwork depicting this year’s theme, “Trees are Terrific…and Energy Wise.” Both students attend Fisher’s Landing Elementary School.
Yi’s piece shows trees intermingling between an urban and forest environment, similar to the two programs at Friends of Trees: Neighborhood Trees (urban); and Green Space Initiative (forest).
And Won’s piece displays the importance of fruit trees for sustenance (Fruit Tree Giveaway Saturday).
Well done to both young artists!
