Title
Recognize Local Student Water Conservation Poster Contest Winners (NB)
Recognize local student winners (K - 4th Grade) that participated in the GRU sponsored Florida Section of the American Water Works Association (FSAWWA) Water Conservation Poster Contest.
Explanation
The annual Florida Section of the American Water Works Association (FSAWWA) Drop Savers Poster Contest is sponsored by GRU to help teach local youth about the importance of conserving our most precious resource - water. This year over 100 elementary school students participated. Amazed by the creativity displayed by the participating students, the selection committee had a difficult time choosing this year’s winners. First, second and third place winners were selected from each class division:
1st Place:
Division 1: Portia Espinosa (1st Grade) - Glen Springs Elementary
Division 2: Savannah Wroath (3rd Grade) - Talbot Elementary
Division 3: David Farrant (4th Grade)- Meadow Brook Elementary
2nd Place:
Division 1: Yulee Zimmerman (Kindergarten) - Glen Springs Elementary
Division 2: Neo Geiger (4th Grade) - Meadow Brook Elementary
Division 3: Keira Lee (3rd Grade) - Talbot Elementary
3rd Place:
Division 1: Audrey Quirk (1st Grade) - Glen Springs Elementary
Division 2: Lily Giunta (3rd Grade) - Talbot Elementary
Division 3: Rainer Delos Santos (4th Grade) - Meadow Brook Elementary
From those winners, the four first place posters were entered into the state-wide FSAWWA competition.
In support and recognition of the winning poster contributors, GRU provided pizza parties to the winning classes and recognized the teachers involved in helping educate the students in the value of water conservation. We are very proud to announce that one of our local students, Portia Espinosa, won 3rd place for the State in Division 1.
