Attention, Parents & teachers of 4th Graders!
Our friend Picatso needs help from your little Picasso!
Doctor Bernard has asked Picatso to make a calendar for 2011.
Since Picatso loves art, he is asking 4th graders from
Ocean and Monmouth counties to draw pictures for
the calendar. The pictures should show how a child
stays healthy and fit.
All entries must be postmarked
no later than May 1.
Winners will be announced
in the spring!
Get started today! Visit us online to learn more about the contest at:
