Melany Morales, an eighth-grader from Mount Pleasant Junior High, won the Mount Pleasant Lion’s Club Peace Poster contest and a $100 prize. The contest was open to students ages 11-13 and the theme for 2022-2023 was “Lead with Compassion.” Morales said she hoped to portray that all of us can show compassion in different ways such as being kind, being a friend, and being nice as illustrated by the people holding up signs around the outside frame. MPJH art is taught by Blanca Meeks.
