"I Voted" Sticker Design Created by 7th Grade GLCPS Student Chosen in City-Wide Contest!

Several GLCPS students participated in the city-wide competition after being encouraged to do so by their teachers. Staff voted on the top designs which were then submitted for the competition.

Ayla-Lynn designed a sticker that both reflected New Bedford's whaling history and its success as a national fishing port. She applied red, white and blue colors to represent the United States, and added yellow to, in her words, "give a pop of color to embrace the design."

The contest was the brainchild of New Bedford Election Commissioner Manuel DeBrito. Mr. DeBrito also was a guest speaker at GLCPS recently, speaking to students in grades 8-12 about the importance of participating in the election process and asking them to encourage their family members who are eligible voters to vote in all elections.
