Congratulations to the winners of the First Annual Millstadt Historical Society Art Contest! Third graders were challenged to recreate the old Millstadt Water Tower by either building a model using different materials or drawing and coloring a picture of it. The First Place winner was Thea Lewis, and the People’s Choice Award went to Tinley O’Donnell. Way to go, girls! A big thank you to all of our third graders who participated. Everyone did an amazing job, and we loved seeing all of your creativity and hard work!
