The Massachusetts Partnerships for Youth (MPY) has selected several students from across the Commonwealth as winners of this year’s annual poster project.
The winners were chosen from a pool of 151 entries from 33 school districts throughout Massachusetts. Since 2009, MPY has hosted the poster project to provide a platform for student voices and allow them to share their perspectives on important topics. Each year, students submit original, creative posters that reflect the theme. Three winners are selected from the elementary, middle and high school levels, with honorable mentions also receiving recognition.
The theme, “Kind People Are the Best Kind of People,” focused on the importance of showing compassion, care and understanding to everyone, including oneself. Students embodied the theme by volunteering in their community, spreading messages of encouragement and helping out neighbors or strangers.
