THE BANK THAT COMES TO YOU
Youths who reside in Chester County are invited to take part in a student art competition being presented by the Chester County’s Sheriff’s Office. As part of the contest, themed “Law Enforcement in the Community,” students in kindergarten through grade 12 are invited to create an original piece of art to show their appreciation for law enforcement. According to the rules of the first-time competition, students may use pencil, ink, markers,
colored pencils or paint to create their work. The three winners, which will be determined by a panel of judges from the department, will receive a certificate of recognition, a photo with Chester County sheriff Kevin D. Dykes and a tour of his office, as well as a gift basket filled with art supplies. The idea for the contest came from Noah Stribrny, who was named command staff liaison of the sheriff ’s office in May. As part of the newly created position, Stribrny’s job includes public outreach. See Art contest pg 4
