YOUNGSTOWN Winners have been announced for the Jewish Community Relations Council of the Youngstown Area Jewish Federation’s student Holocaust writing, art and multi-media contest.
The council held the contest as part of its 27th annual Community Holocaust Commemoration for Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance).
Students in grades seven to 12 were invited to submit an original piece of poetry, narrative composition, art, or multi-media piece. Winners were announced at the annual Community Yom Hashoah Commemoration Ceremony held virtually this year last month.
Yom Hashoah is an internationally recognized day set aside for remembering all victims of the Holocaust and for reminding society what can happen to civilized people when bigotry, hatred and indifference reign.

YOUNGSTOWN Schools and school districts in 11 Ohio counties, including Mahoning, learned they will be among the first eligible to have their employees receive the coronavirus vaccine.
There are 45 schools and school districts in Mahoning County among those; Columbiana has three schools on the lists.
Trumbull County, however, has no schools or districts on the list released by the Ohio Department of Health and it has not been announced when those employees will begin getting vaccinations.
Several Mahoning district leaders expressed a sense of relief and joy that their schools are listed.
“We knew it would be soon, but did not expect to be on the first week’s list,” Kirk Baker, superintendent of Jackson-Milton School District, said. “We’ve been working with the Mahoning County Educational Service Center and they were making the arrangements.”
