Beautify CNMI!, in partnership with the nonprofit organization Paseo de Marianas Promoters, Inc., is urging CNMI schools to participate in the first Christmas Tree Decorations Contest, as part of PDM Promoters’ Christmas Festival program on the Paseo De Marianas.
The contest is open to all elementary schools in the CNMI (Headstart to 6th grade), and registration is free. The deadline for registration is Oct. 31.
The theme of the contest is, “A Green Christmas for the Children of the Marianas.” Students will be asked to create Christmas ornaments using recycled materials. Each participating school will be given a Christmas tree to decorate on Nov. 29; all the Christmas trees will be lit and unveiled on Nov. 30, during the Garapan Street Market. The winning schools will be announced on Dec. 21, also at the Garapan Street Market.
“Our aim,” says PDM director Misako Kamata, “is to bring to our children, and to all residents and visitors, the spirit of Christmas in spite of the hard economic situation, and to highlight the importance of recycling in this community.”
To sign up your school before the Oct. 31 deadline, or for more information, contact Misako Kamata at 234-8297/6900, or by email at kinpachi@pticom.com. You may also contact Tina Sablan at 664-8500, or tinasablan@gmail.com. [B][I](PR)[/I][/B]
