Fourth Graders Say “Thanks”
A fourth-grade student in Mrs. Hastig’s class at Longfellow Elementary has placed third in the Energy Share of Montana’s statewide fourth grade art contest. Luna submitted a beautiful picture depicting a child and her dog staying warm in their home.
On Wednesday, March 4, representatives from Action for Eastern Montana (AEM) in Glendive presented Luna with a $25 prize. Mrs. Hastig was also presented with a gift card to use for classroom needs. Additionally, Energy Share hosted a pizza party for Mrs. Hastig’s class as a “congratulations” for all their fine artwork.
Using the medium of art, Mrs. Hastig has taught her students about our Montana neighbors who sometimes need additional help with keeping warm in the winter. Per Energy Share’s contest guidelines, the drawings by her students depict what Energy Share means to them.
The art contest is part of Energy Share’s overall efforts to educate the public on the energy needs of our neighbors across the state. Donations from individuals and small businesses across Montana make it possible for Energy Share to help Montanans who face emergency, no-heat situations when they encounter temporary financial difficulties. Investor-owned utilities, large electric users, the propane industry, Montana’s electric cooperatives, and individuals across the state come together to support Energy Share.
All the fourth graders who participated in the art contest send a big “thank you” to those who donate to Energy Share to help keep their neighbors warm. If you know of someone who needs help with their bill or would like more information, please call Action for Eastern Montana in Glendive at 406-377-3564, the statewide Energy Share office at 1-888-779-7589, or visit either website at www.aemt.org or www.energysharemt.com.
