Caithness Kids do Well As Calendar Boys and Girls
Twelve Highland pupils have won top prizes in an art competition to design
Lyreco Office Supplies 2008 calendar. Caithness pupils did exceptionally
well with three winners chosen from over 1200 entries.
Each winning pupil was presented with an i-pod
prize at The Highland Council’s Education, Culture and Sport Committee.
Their designs appear in one month of the calendar which is currently being
distributed to all schools and council offices. The competition was
sponsored by Bic. Winners also won cash prizes for stationery for
their schools.
