Battaglia said she is optimistic that Derynoski can win the contest. Kelley Elementary School won second place two years ago and Flanders Elementary School won the grand prize several years ago. Derynoski’s PTO will be collecting materials and voting right through the end of the contest. “We’re going to keep working hard for the kids,” she said. “Hopefully we can get it done for them.” For more information, or to vote, visit https://www.terracycle.com/en-US/contests/colgateshopriteplayground2019.
