While this year’s Wellington Rotary Club World Peace Day Ceremony was canceled due to rain, the club later presented awards to the winners of this year’s school contests. At this year’s contests, the club received more than 500 posters from elementary school students, more than 50 poems from middle school students and 20 essays from high school students. Shyamak Bakshi from Equestrian Trails Elementary School was the overall poster contest winner; Ryan Burt from Polo Park Middle School was the overall poetry contest winner; and Troy McCrae of Wellington High School was winner of the essay contest.
