Selection committee names three winners in Black History Month stamp activity
Summary
A local selection committee voted to honor three submissions—entries 25, 21 and 18—as winners in its Black History Month stamp activity and will notify teachers so winners can be honored at the city council meeting on the 11th.
A local selection committee met to choose winners from Black History Month stamp submissions and agreed to recognize three entries rather than rank them. The chair led the review of scanned art and noted some images were hard to read because schools submitted black-and-white scans; the committee settled on entries 25, 21 and 18 as the winners and agreed to record that selection in the minutes.
"Winners will be honored," the chair said while confirming the city council date for the recognition, adding that staff would reach out to teachers to collect full student names and deliverables. One committee member pointed to a submission that included the quote, "The only tired I was was tired of giving in," calling it a memorable entry. A motion to record the winners "as this year's Black History Month stamp submissions" was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript does not record individual vote tallies.
The committee discussed whether to designate first, second and third places but reviewed the contest wording and found only "winners" are required; members preferred honoring all three equally. The chair said she will follow up with teachers to confirm names and coordinate presentation logistics for the council meeting on the 11th.
