MKC to sponsor coloring contest in celebration of Co-op Month

Mid Kansas Cooperative is sponsoring a coloring contest for Kindergarten through 4^th grade students within its trade territory as part of  Co-op Month (held each year during the month of October).  Co-op Month provides an opportunity to celebrate the ways in which cooperatives strengthen the economy, support communities and provide much-needed services to co-op members.

47 elementary schools received a packet from MKC containing a supply of coloring sheets and information on the cooperative system to use in their classrooms as education tools. 

Students in Kindergarten to fourth grade are invited to participate in the contest. Entries will be split into three divisions: Kindergarten, 1^st – 2^nd, and 3^rd – 4^th. Prizes will be awarded to 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd place winners in each contestant group.

The contest will run until September 28, with entries to be featured on MKC’s social media sites during the month of October.

Additional coloring sheets are available at any MKC location.  Entries can be submitted through participating schools or  your nearest MKC location.
