Local art promotes conservation

The artistic talents of three Haywood County School students will serve as a reminder to conserve electricity for generations to come.

Trane, international manufacturer of heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, sponsored a light switch sticker contest for all Haywood County students. The contest, which was carried out within each school’s art classes, was designed as a fun way to encourage kids to “turn off the lights” every time they leave a room.

Three local winners, Amaya Ferrer (9^th grade, pictured right), Giana Isabella Gaietto McKinney (6^thgrade, not pictured) and Adelaide Lovelace (2^nd grade, pictured left), will have their masterpieces featured on light switch plates throughout the district’s schools. Their art instructors are Jennifer C. Friedman, Angela Moss and Jamie Chandler, respectively.
