The 2016 RETHINK Contest Highlights Fireflies

Got creativity? On Saturday, November 12, from 10 a.m. to noon, the Midlands Recycling and Sustainability Alliance will host its annual RETHINK Contest for K-12 students in Lexington and Richland counties at Saluda Shoals Park, located at 5605 Bush River Road, in Columbia. This year’s theme is fireflies, which highlights a local S.C. species being affected by climate change. Students can use repurposed materials to create a firefly or a repurposed object decorated with fireflies. Up to 30 K-12 students will be invited to participate in this regional contest. The top prize will be $100 in cash.

Contest entries are due by Tuesday, November 1. Teachers can submit student entries by emailing a project picture and a description written by the student. The name and grade level of the student should be included.
