Congratulations to three Lakeland High School students who earned top prizes in a recent poster contest sponsored by Ciba Specialty Chemicals in recognition of National Chemistry Week, which was celebrated in November.

Based on the national theme &uot;Earth’s Atmosphere and Beyond!,&uot; earth science students at the high schools were invited to draw a poster illustrating contributions made by chemistry to the advancement of aviation and atmospheric chemistry.

This theme coordinated with the 100th anniversary of the Wright Brothers’ First Flight in Kitty Hawk, N.C.
