Kaylee Monturano won third place in the art category.
Just before schools closed in March 2020, Mariner Middle teacher Amanda Kilby encouraged students to enter a contest focusing on human and civil rights.
Sponsored by the Delaware State Education Association, the 2020 annual Human and Civil Rights contest was open to students in elementary through high school in writing, art and digital media categories under the theme Make the World a Better Place.
“I collected their work prior to March 13, 2020, and mailed it to the DSEA office in Dover,” Kilby said. “I had not heard back from the contest until Friday, Feb. 26, with the great news that five of Mariner’s students placed in the contest.”
