City participates in “If I Were Mayor…” 2015 Student Contest, Jan. 9

Mayor Rick Wetherell is promoting a local contest through May 7, 2015. The three categories are: elementary school (grades 4-5) poster, middle school (grades 6-8) essay, and high school (grades 9-12) digital media (video, PowerPoint, Prezi, etc.). Statewide winners and their mayor will be notified in mid-June. The statewide winners and parents will be invited to an Oregon Mayors Association (OMA) Annual Conference luncheon in Cottage Grove, Friday, August 7, 2015, to be recognized and receive prizes. Three statewide winners (one in each category) will receive an Apple iPad Air tablet at the conference. Second Place winners are often selected depending on funds available for prizes. Official Entry Forms are available at North Bend Schools, or online at http://www.northbendoregon.us
