In celebration of the City of Centennial’s 10th Anniversary, third grade students in the city were asked to draw a picture to illustrate “What Centennial means to you?”

Out of the 16 elementary schools in the city, seven responded by submitting hundreds of drawings from the Littleton and Cherry Creek School Districts.  One winner was selected from each school district.

The winner from the Littleton Public School District is Kayla Chavez from Mrs.  Bergmen’s third-grade class at Peabody Elementary School.

The winner from the Cherry Creek School District is Crystal Larrea in Mrs. Fletcher’s third-grade class at Trails West Elementary School.

“Selecting a winner was very tough. All of the submittals were extremely creative and very thoughtful. I enjoyed learning what parts of Centennial are important to the city’s youth,” said Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon.”

Each winner’s class received a pizza party provided by the city and a $25 gift card to a Centennial business. In addition, the selected artwork will be an upcoming edition of the Centennial Connection newsletter and on the City’s website, by clicking the Centennial button on the left of the home page.
