Students Emery Wahlen, Raegan Owen and Jaimie Shing have been named winners of The Clean Air Campaign’s third annual Young Lungs at Work statewide art competition. More than 300 entries were submitted. Emery, a fifth grader from Atlanta’s Kittredge Magnet School, won first place in the elementary division for a comic strip depicting students walking to school to reduce pollution from the tailpipes of cars. Raegan, a sixth grader from Henry County’s General Ray Davis Middle School, captured first place in the middle school division with a comic strip asking her mom not to idle while waiting to pick her up from school. Jaimie, a senior from Northview High School in Johns Creek, won first place in a newly created t-shirt category for high school students. Her design references student health with the drawing of a set of young lungs emblazoned with the slogan “Help Save Us!”
