ED2026 announce poetry contest April Marks Earth Month and Poetry Month
The Princeton Section will celebrate Earth Week 2026 with a live event in Princeton and a poetry contest for area students. National ACS varies the topic for its April earth week activities, with the theme of trees this year.
For the live programming, the Section is partnering with Princeton Public Library, where the event will take place on Saturday, April 18th.
Through an illustrated poem contest in April, students will use poetry and art to increase their awareness and share their understanding of the role of trees in our lives. All grade levels K-12 from local schools are eligible for this Princeton Section of ACS-sponsored illustrated poem contest. Electronic entries will be due at the end of April. For requirements and information, local area teachers may contact the Section’s CCEW 2026 coordinator at princetonacs258@gmail.com.
In addition to local recognition, winners of the local contest will be entered into the national-level contest.
