July 31, 2013 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • Page 7 Wyckoff Lincoln School Stamp Contest winners selected Stamp Club Design Competition winners Newly installed Wyckoff Postmaster Alison G. James recently announced the Stamp Club Design Competition winners from the third grade class at Lincoln School. This year’s theme was “heroes.” The six student winners were Jenna Kraus, Jessica Weiss, Sebastian Miller, McKenna Lont, Madelyn Panebianco, and Julia Pesce. Honorable Mention recognition was given to Isabella Hardi, Ronnie Bavagnoli, and Camryn King. Students from the classes of teach- ers Linda Azzollini, Eileen Russell, and Mary Butters (who is substituting for Ashley Campeas) each submitted a stamp design and a narrative about their choice of a hero or heroine. Each student wrote an essay about how their hero impacted their lives or inspired others, and why their hero should be the honored on a postage stamp. Postmaster James noted that many students had chosen a parent or other relative. Other heroes included teach- ers, trainers, dancers, athletes, doctors, and nurses. James also read a letter of com- mendation for teacher and club advisor Linda Azzollini to the assembled group of students, faculty, administrators, and many parents and relatives of the hon- orees. In addition to James, the judges for this year’s competition included Oak- land Postmaster Stacey Valerius and former Waldwick Postmaster Robert J. VanDerClock who, along with former Postmaster Tom Vacca, helped estab- lish the USPS sponsored club at the school in 1989. Prizes for the finalists included USPS picture mats, coloring books, “Junior Postmaster” stickers, and school supplies. James praised all the students in the classes for another superior competi- tive effort in this year’s event and gave special mention to all of the Lincoln School staff and parents and Principal Dr. Mary Orr for their valuable support of the program over the many years of its existence. The postmaster, who will display all of the finalist entries in the Wyckoff Post Office during the summer, said she looks forward to participating in this effort in the future.
