Dear Teachers,
Kittitas County will be once again celebrating “National County Government Month” in April.
To help recognize this event the Kittitas County Board of Commissioner’s office will be holding
their annual coloring/drawing contest which is open to all elementary school children in grades
K-5. This year’s theme is “Kindness Matters in Kittitas County”.
The Kittitas County Board of Commissioners office will judge the entries that most represent
Kittitas County and the theme. The Board of County Commissioners will award a season’s pass
to the 2017 Kittitas County Fair during Labor Day weekend to three students from each class
who participates!
We will display all of the entries throughout the Kittitas County Courthouse beginning March
31st through April 21st. Upon the conclusion of National County Government Month our office
will contact each teacher whose class participated in the event to schedule a time for a
Commissioner to either come in to their classroom or for a brief award presentation at an
assembly. All entries will be returned to you once they have been displayed.
Attached is a page that can be copied and distributed to each child in your class. Please be sure
to have the students print their first name, school, grade, and teacher at the bottom prior to
returning them to our office. All entries must be returned to the Kittitas County Commissioner’s
office no later than Friday March 24, 2017 by 5:00 p.m. Please return your class entries to 205
West 5th – Room 108 Ellensburg, Washington 98926. If you have any questions, please contact
Julie Kjorsvik, Clerk of the Board at 962-7508. Once again we are looking forward to seeing the
creativity from children in Kittitas County. Thank you.
Sincerely,
THE KITTITAS COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Paul Jewell, Chairman
Laura Osiadacz, Vice-Chairman
Obie O’Brien, Commissioner
