Senator Elaine Phillips (R-Manhasset) recently announced that Sophie Plotnitzky, a student at East Hills Elementary School in Roslyn, was chosen as a first place winner in the Senate’s Earth Day Poster Contest. Senator Phillips visited the school to congratulate Sophie on her award winning entry.
Sophie’s entry focused on the importance of “reducing, reusing, and recycling” in order to protect the environment. As a first place winner, Sophie’s poster was displayed in the State Legislative Office Building in Albany along with those of the other winners from across the state.
