Muhammad’s prize-winning entry encapsulates this year’s theme (“Brush, Floss, Smile”) depicting “stylish” dental instruments with the tagline, “To Keep Your Teeth in Style, Brush, Floss, Smile!” Muhammad will be presented with his framed winning poster and prize by a PDA member dentist later next month. Both East Stroudsburg Elementary School and Muhammad’s teacher, Mrs. Tania Iannia, will also receive prizes of $250 each for being part of first place in PDA’s contest.
Our second-place winner is nine-year-old Brady Corvaia from Octorara Elementary School in Atglen, in Chester County. Brady’s prize-winning poster depicts a baseball player up to bat with a toothbrush under the headline, “Brush and floss for a grand slam smile!” also honoring this year’s theme. Brady will receive a $250 prize and a certificate of recognition.
Third-place winner Jessica McGinley, a nine-year-old from Queen of Angels Catholic School in North Huntingdon, in Westmoreland County says, “Dental Health Rocks!” She created a rock band trio of teeth musicians performing with dental “instruments.” Jessica will receive a $100 prize and a certificate of recognition.
