The 1600 Bruckner Blvd. McDonald’s hosted an art contest with students from the Millennium Art Academy High School on Friday, March 1, where art was displayed at the store for the week.
The event was an opportunity to uplift the youth and acknowledge and support their talent and creativity. As 90% of the contestants were women, it was a nice segue to recognize and celebrate women during Women’s History Month.
Winners Skyler Sierra, Kimberly Alejandro and Yaileni Rosado were selected by the judges: Assemblymember Kenneth Burgos, Deputy Inspector Yerlin Moya and New York-based Ecuadorian visual artist Carla Torres. Winners received goody bags with an Amazon gift card and a gift card from the Havana Cafe, admission tickets and more from the New York Botanical Garden and the Bronx Zoo.
