Sioux Falls Elementary Student to Have Artwork Displayed on Billboard
A Sioux Falls elementary student is going to have a recent artwork project displayed in a very prominent place in town.
Annika Kimber, a 4th-grade student at Sonia Sotomayor elementary school in Sioux Falls is receiving some very cool recognition from the South Dakota Department of Transportation.
According to Dakota News Now, Kimber was chosen this week as the winner of the 2023 “Work Zone Awareness” billboard artwork competition.
For her exemplary work, Kimber will have her artwork project displayed on a billboard on Interstate 29 near the 41st Street exit.
In addition to her billboard gracing one of the highest traffic areas within the city, Kimber also received a mini billboard of her art project, so that she'll always be able to remember this momentous occasion, along with a $25.00 check for herself, and another $100.00 check for her entire classroom.
If you're wondering, the theme of Kimber's billboard is, "Stay Alert. Don't Get Hurt."
A very good reminder for every driver and road construction worker as we celebrate "National Work Zone Awareness Week", all this week throughout the country.
