3. East Windsor Sponsors Recycling Poster Contest for Local Elementary School Students for Earth Day.

Posters should be left by Wednesday, April 3, at the student's School Administrative Office or at the East Windsor Municipal Building Mayor's Office. Participants should be certain to provide on the back of each poster the student's name, address, phone number, grade level, and school attended.
