The 17th annual Neighbor Appreciation Day is this Saturday and over 50 activities will take place throughout Seattle.

Every year, Seattle students enter the Neighbor Appreciation Day Student Art Contest with drawings depicting what it means to be a good neighbor. The drawings of the two first place winners have been used to make Neighborhood Appreciation Day greeting cards to be distributed for free at community centers, libraries, and Neighborhood Service Centers.

A total of 15 winners were selected out of nearly 600 entries and Mayor Mike McGinn and Seattle Councilmember Mike O’Brien will honor them at the awards ceremony at 10 a.m. on Saturday at Hamilton International Middle School in Seattle. The winners have been announced as follows:
