Litesh, grade 3 at Betances Learning Lab

The Child Abuse Prevention Month art contest was held in April for child abuse prevention month. The kids really did a great job with the theme "what makes you feel safe and loved".

The winners were chosen by open voting from parents, family, friends, and attendees at our Child Abuse Prevention Conference. There was an online platform for folks to view and vote. Grand prize for most votes was an iPad, first place winners received a $25 gift card and runners-up received a $10 gift card.
