Students have time to name a snowplow

Idaho students still have time to participate in the Idaho Transportation Department's third annual "Name a Snowplow" contest. Classrooms in grades 6-12, including homeschool students, can submit one original snowplow name now through Oct. 31.

The contest helps students learn about winter driving safety while adding creativity and character to the snowplows that keep Idaho roads clear each winter.

ITD will select twelve winning names, with two snowplows named in each of its six districts. Winning classrooms will receive recognition and a visit from the snowplow and driver bearing their chosen name, along with a winter driving safety presentation.

Teachers may submit one name per classroom. Entries must be appropriate, no more than 15 characters long, and submitted by Oct. 31. ITD employees will vote on submissions in November, and winners will be announced by the end of the year.

Educators and homeschool families can find contest rules and submit entries at itd.idaho.gov
