Three BCSD students placed in the New York Association of Pupil Transportation’s statewide poster contest, and two will be entered into the American School Bus Council’s national competition.

Bethlehem students were invited to submit poster entries illustrating the theme, “Driving Safely Into the Future” to be judged by the BC Transportation Department. Winning entries from each division were entered into the NYAPT state contest.

The posters were judged at the state level during the NYAPT 2024 Winter Workshop last week. The following posters placed in the state competition. The first-place winners will go on to compete in ASBC’s national competition.

Division 1, Grades K-2: Niko Kita, Glenmont, first-place

Division 2, Grades 3-5: Emily Rosenblat, Glenmont, second-place

Division 3, Grades 6-8: Melissa Yang, Middle School, first-place

Congratulations to Niko, Emily and Melissa!

Good luck to Niko and Melissa as their posters move on to the national competition!
