The Sixteen on Center Art & Writing Contest is held annually to promote the importance and value of a healthy environment to the youth of Aquidneck Island. The contest is open to all local students, from kindergarten through 12th grade. Awards were presented at the ALT Annual Meeting on February 7, 2019. In addition, the school of each first-place winner received a check to support its own environmental education curriculum. We thank our sponsor, Sixteen on Center, for their generosity and commitment to environmental education.
