CEDAR 

We’re teaming up with the non-profit organization, CEDAR of Virginia, Inc., to facilitate the increase of knowledge and understanding of the many benefits the coal industry provides in our daily lives by providing financial resources and coal education materials to implement its study in the school curriculum in grades K-12.

  

 

 “Securing coal’s future

TODAY

by educating our leaders of

TOMORROW.”

 

 

2010 CEDAR Coal Fair

 

Coal Fair

 

Fifty-nine students were winners at this year’s fair.  Students submitted coal projects in one of the following categories:  Science, Math, English-Literature, Art, Music, Technology-Multi Media, or Social Studies.

 

The projects were judged in grade levels of K-4, 5-8, and 9-12 with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awarded to each grade level and category.  Overall grade level winners are also selected, as well as one Student Project of the Year.

 

A total of 312 entries were received in this year’s kindergarten-twelfth grade regional fair, which was held at the Dickenson County Education Center.
