Area sixth graders recently designed ads for area businesses as part of Newspaper in Education Week. Each participating business selected its favorite ad, which was then featured in the March 7 edition of the Advocate News. Newspaper staff members then selected its top three overall ad designs. Winners are shown above (from left) Lyndsee Holland, Wilton, winner of best ad design; Violet LeGrand, Wilton, winner of best creative message; and Mariah Alpen, Durant, winner of best ad artwork. Each overall winner received a blue ribbon and a Wilton-Durant Advocate News gift bag.
