Queensbury's Own Scarlett Zeferino Triumphs in Lake George Bookmark Design Contest

Scarlett Zeferino, a fifth grader from Queensbury, won the 16th annual Lake George Bookmark Design Contest. Her design focused on the theme 'Planting Trees to Make Stormwater Clean' and was chosen from 162 entries by students from six schools in the Lake George watershed area.

The Lake George Association organizes this contest to teach young students about stormwater pollution, a major environmental issue for Lake George. The theme encourages students to consider sustainable ways to address environmental problems.

Scarlett's design will be printed and shared in schools and libraries across the Lake George basin. This effort aims to educate others about environmental protection through Scarlett's creative work.

The contest is open to fourth and fifth graders from any public, private, or home schools in the watershed area. Participating communities include Lake George, Bolton, Whitehall, Ticonderoga, Putnam, Fort Ann, Queensbury, Hadley-Luzerne, Warrensburg, and The King’s School.
