Penguins Delighted at Students' Enthusiasm in "Students for Stanley" Contest

The Penguins hosted a “Students for Stanley” contest for students throughout Allegheny County and the City of Pittsburgh as the team begins the quest for another Stanley Cup.
 
The “Students for Stanley” contest invited elementary, middle and high school students to create 4’x6’ banners and submit one banner per grade level to represent their school.  The schools then submitted a photograph of their banner for a panel of judges to view.  The judges looked for school spirit and enthusiasm for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
 
The Penguins’ judges determined a winner for each grade level, Grades 1 - 12, and each winning grade’s banner will be displayed at CONSOL Energy Center during the first round of the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs.  A list of the winners in each grade level and a picture of their banner are featured below.
