In April, we encouraged you to bring the student in your life to your work location for Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day. This year’s theme was “Working Better Together,” and we asked our associates’ children to think about the best ways to work together for a common purpose. Participating elementary school-aged students were encouraged to draw a picture that reflected teamwork, and middle and high school students could submit a short essay.

We received a few hundred contest entries, stories and photos from participants across all divisions and support locations. It was a tough choice, but we’re delighted to announce this year’s Publix News contest winners.
