Mia wins Be Proud poster competition Posted in: News & Events on 2nd June, 2010.

Four-year-old Mia Saunders is the toast of her Wednesbury school after her design won the Fresh School Meals service “Be Proud of Sandwell” poster competition.

The competition was run for children  as part of the borough-wide “Be Proud of Sandwell” campaign.

The Fresh School Meals service promote a series of themed school meal days aimed at encouraging children to take part in a range of fun learning activities.

Mia is a pupil at Park Hill Primary school in Coronation Road. Her headteacher Caroline Logan said: “We are very proud of what she achieved.

“She put a lot of effort into the design of her poster. We look forward to seeing her work to promote “Be Proud of Sandwell”. Well done Mia.”

Pupils were asked to design a poster to show how proud they were of Sandwell and its heritage.

Cabinet member for children and families Cllr Bob Badham said: “Many congratulations to Mia for the poster she designed. She clearly put a lot of thought into it and her success is well deserved.”

Gary Bowman, Sandwell Partnership director, said: “The Be Proud poster competition has been fantastic.  We’ve been so impressed with the imagination and real sense of pride in their area that’s been expressed in all of the entries.

“Choosing one winner was very difficult, but Mia clearly put so much thought into her poster and managed to include some of the things so many of us are proud of about Sandwell, from our heritage to our future, that she’s a worthy winner.”

The winning entry incorporated into a special celebratory poster
