We just concluded our 2010 Switlik Elementary Art Contest in Marathon recently. Children ranging from Kindergarten to fifth grade were invited to participate. Entries were judged by local artists Remy Cabrera, Julie Joyce and Lois Giffen along with Dinata Misovic, based on creativity, originality and best representation of the theme, “A Place I Would Like to Visit”.
The winners were Dante Senmartin, Giauna Abbruzzese, Blake Breedlove, India Wiggins, Holly Frederick, Xochitl Baron, Maidelys Quintero, Chris Garcia, April Sullivan, Lucas Ponzoa, Jazzmine Antrobus, Elizabeth Kyle and Bailey Sullivan. The winning artwork will be on display at the main branch of Centennial Bank in Marathon through the month of June.
We recently hosted an event in Marathon called “Junior Banker for a Day.” Five classes of first graders from Stanley Switlik Elementary School came to see what banking was all about. The students were given tours of the teller line, vault, currency counter, drive-thru, and then were taken to the ATM machine where they were taught how the machine worked. The students also took their picture with the bank president Teresa Condas.
We ended the day with cookies and juice for the students after their long day of learning and hope to see several come back and work with us in a few years.
We recently had an opportunity to partner with the Monroe County Sheriff's Department and various other law enforcement organizations to stage a mock child abduction training in the Keys. The training exercise was used to raise awareness for child abduction resources available to Keys residents. The event involved the MCSD, ICE, Florida State Law Enforcement, FBI and Fire Rescue.
After the exercise, we grilled for all the participants including Liam, Cassie and Rex, the rescue K9s.
