npsd is invited to participate in Student Poster Contest for National School Bus sAFETY WEEK

School districts across the state and throughout the country will be observing National School Bus Safety Week from October 19 through October 23, 2009.  With this in mind, North Penn School District has been invited to participate in the National School Bus Safety Week Poster Contest.

This year's theme is:  "Cross in View, it's the Right Thing to Do!"

The poster contest guidelines are as follows: 

1. Poster size must be 11” X 17” or 12” X 18”. Construction paper may be used, but winning entries must be mounted on quality paper;

2. Lamination is not permitted and will disqualify the poster;

3. Poster designs may not incorporate any copyrighted characters, photographs, and magazine or newspaper illustrations;

4. Illustrations must be positive in approach, demonstrating only proper school bus safety behavior. It should be the exclusive work of the student entering the contest;

5. At least part of the yellow school bus must be included on the poster;

6. The slogan “Cross in View, it's the Right Thing to Do!” must be included on the poster. The illustration should harmonize with the theme and demonstrate safety;

7. Only freehand drawn letters may be used. Lettering should be clearly legible, even if used as part of the poster design;

8. Wood, plastic, glass or metal cannot be used. Collage materials cannot be used. Glued on pieces will disqualify the poster;

9. Posters must be postmarked by June 30, 2009.

From the entries, the Department will select a first, second, and third place winning poster for each division.  The winners will be notified in September.  The children who submitted the winning posters will be invited to an awards ceremony in Harrisburg during National School Bus Safety Week in October.

The Department will enter the four first place winning posters from the state competition into the national competition.  The National School Bus Safety Week Poster Contest Committee will judge the national winning posters in November.  These winners receive savings bonds and the overall winner’s poster will be used in the 2009 National School Bus Safety Campaign.
