This second annual Boca Raton Bowl Art Contest had more than 200 entries from schools across Palm Beach County. Sponsored by Florida Blue and South Florida Fair, the contest provided elementary students with the opportunity to learn about football and the importance of living an active, healthy lifestyle.
“It is refreshing to be involved with the collaboration between ESPN West Palm, the Boca Bowl and the School District to support arts education and physical activity for all students,” said Eric Stern, K-12 - Physical, Health and Driver Education Administrator of Palm Beach County.
First place was awarded to fifth grader Luke Royer of Banyan Creek Elementary. Fifth grader Zaria Clemons of Banyan Creek was awarded second place. Hammock Pointe Elementary first-grade student Christian Da Costa and Marsh Pointe Elementary fourth grader Jacqueline Lowenthal earned third and fourth place, respectively.
