Manadon Bright Sparks Take Top Prizes in Christmas Card Competition

Two pupils at Manadon Vale are celebrating after coming first and second in an annual Christmas card competition organised by local Electrical, Mechanical and Building Services company Drew & Co Ltd.

Year 6 pupil Yasmin came first in the competition which received a record 895 entries from 16 schools across Plymouth. Her creativity won her a £25 Toys R Us voucher, her school a cheque for £150 and is now adapted onto a professional card which is being sent out to Drew & Co’s clients throughout the South West.

Ellie from year 2 was the runner–up in the competition which was judged by staff at Drew & Co.

Andy Botterill, Managing Director of Drew & Co said; "We are absolutely thrilled with the record response to our competition. The quality of entries this year was exceptional – I would like to say thank you to all of the schools that participated and a well done to each and every pupil for entering into the spirit of the competition."

Mandon Vale teacher and art coordinator Mrs Ruth Dorset commented; "We are extremely proud of Yasmin and Ellie who both worked really hard to win the top prizes in such a big competition. Drew & Co’s cheque will go towards our Arts Week in March which will encourage more pupils to explore their potential in arts, literacy and music."
