Dear Educator, Recently I sent out a notice asking you to enter your 4-6 grade students in the US Savings Bonds Poster Contest 2001. The Dept. of Education and Dept. of the Treasury received over 900 outstanding entries from students across the state. Although choosing only 3 winners (and an honorable mention) was difficult, we have done it.

Please Join me in Congratulating the Following Winners:

The awards luncheon was sponsored by Liberty Mutual Group of Boston. Each state's 1st place entry will compete in Washington DC in April in the national judging.
