Liu, a Holyoke sixth grader, created the winning entry in the local Peace Poster Contest. Her poster will have the opportunity to continue advancing in this annual international competition. Following a theme of “Peace Through Service,” Liu said she wanted to feature the essential workers who have continued to work throughout the pandemic. “I appreciate every single person who goes out there and keeps working,” she said. — The Holyoke Enterprise | Johnson Publications
