Nick Wauiro, a student at Our Lady of Guadalupe Academy in Simpsonville, grinned as he accepted a certificate and a check for $125 for winning a poster contest.
The poster, which depicted many hands linked together, was the winner of the Peace Poster Contest, sponsored by the Simpsonville Lions Club.
Officials from the club, including Jim Janes, secretary, Chuck Danison, district governor, and Lois Janes, vice president, were on hand at the academy Friday morning to present the cash award and the Pin of the Year to Wauiro in front of his classmates.
