Fourth grader Raven Carey, of Frisco, is the winner of the Reusable Bag Artwork Contest, sponsored by City of Frisco Environmental Services. Carey was honored April 22 at the Frisco Tom Thumb, where his winning design and reusable bags featuring his artwork were unveiled to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Earth Day.
The new reusable bags, which sell for 99 cents each, are available at the Frisco Tom Thumb, 4848 Preston Road. All proceeds from bag sales, along with a $500 donation from Tom Thumb, benefit the Frisco Education Foundation. Proceeds will support a Tom Thumb & City of Frisco Environmental Services scholarship to be awarded to select FISD seniors who plan to pursue a degree in Environmental Science(s).
