·         Attention all artists: The 6th Annual Street Smarts Storybook Poster Contest presented by Sunset Development Company is here!  Elementary school children from throughout the San Ramon Valley are encouraged to draw illustrations for Street Smarts’ third traffic safety storybook, “The Giant’s Party” by local author Dana Mentink.  In the story, Jack climbs the beanstalk up to the giant’s castle and receives instructions to deliver party invitations to other storybook characters.  Jack learns about bicycle, scooter, skateboard, and rollerblade safety along the way.

 

The winning illustrations will be featured in the final ten-page storybook and will be distributed to thousands of children in the San Ramon Valley at libraries and community centers.  The ten winners will get their own treasure: a Flip Video Camcorder and art kit.  The winning artwork and final storybook will be unveiled at the Storybook Poster Contest Awards Ceremony on March 11, 2010 at the Dougherty Valley Performing Arts Center.

 

Students in grades K-5 of all artistic abilities are encouraged to participate.  The contest ends February 8, 2010.  Entry forms and contest information can be picked up at the main office or by visiting www.streetsmarts-srv.com.
