Fourth grader from Eli Whitney Elementary School, Caitlyn Haray, has won the Fairfield County fire prevention poster contest and is now competing against other county winners.
The contest was a collaboration between the Stratford Fire Department and Stratford Public Schools. The fourth and fifth grade classrooms each had a visit from Deputy Fire Marshall Roy Minton, promoting the contest and explaining the rules. Almost all of the students participated.
Two students, a fourth grader Caitlyn Haray and a fifth grader Kim Heng, were selected to represent Stratford in the Fairfield County contest. From there, Caitlyn was identified as the winner. She is invited to attend a luncheon where she will be celebrated for her achievement. At this luncheon, the overall winner of the State’s contest will be identified.
