Fifth Graders Win RTC Art Contest
Two area fifth-grade students took top honors in a recent anti-graffiti art contest.
The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) honored Carlos Gonzalez of Ruby Thomas Elementary School and Ashtyn Fink of the Meadows School as the grand prize winners of the Anti-Graffiti Art Contest at a special D.A.R.E. event hosted by the RTC Thursday night.
Their winning artwork was unveiled on a 40-foot RTC vehicle before an audience of friends and family.
All of the artwork was created by local fifth-grade students. More than 20 local elementary schools participated in this year’s contest, submitting more than 475 entries. The entries were narrowed down to 10, and the winners were selected by an online community poll.
