Students Design New Beach Tags for Cape May

 

By Jack Fichter

CAPE MAY – Mayor Edward J. Mahaney Jr. awarded $100 savings bonds to two students Nov. 16 for their designs for the city’s 2010 seasonal and weekly beach tags.
Kelly Serfass, a sixth grader at Cape May Elementary School, won for her design of the seasonal beach tag. She said her design featured a fish with bubbles coming out of its mouth. She said she created it with a pencil sketch.
Allison Houseman, an eighth grader at the Richard M. Teitelman School, won for her design of the weekly beach tag. She said her design featured a clam shell.
“The competition on the annual beach tag contest is very spirited amongst all the school children in kindergarten through the eighth grade in all the regional public and private parochial schools,” said Mahaney. “It’s a very stiff competition and it’s even a stiffer judgment in City Hall.
He said the city looked for a bright, creative idea each year that doesn’t replicate something that won in past years. Both winners will have their names along with their artwork on the tags.
