Each year, Surrogate Michelle Gentek-Mayer works with elementary schools to share with students how their local and county government work and the importance of being involved. Following each lesson, the Constitutional Row Officers of New Jersey sponsor a poster contest for 4th grade students across the state. The Surrogate received 90 submissions from throughout Camden County. Each poster submitted showed time and effort and highlighted why Camden County is so special. The judges selected 4 winners and 6 honorable mentions.
This year we are celebrating the winners a bit differently with a virtual art exhibit. Congratulations to all the winners and thank you to everyone who submitted a poster.
