St Charles 3rd Grader Takes 1st Place in Water Conservation Poster Contest <br />This past December the Parks and Environmental Commission hosted their annual Water Conservation Poster Contest. Those participating were the 3rd graders of St <br />Charles and 4th graders of Wilshire Elementary Schools. The criteria was to illustrate how one can “Save Water at Home”. Any drawing utensil could be utilized. <br />Students were limited to using an 8 x 11 sheet of paper. The judging was based on originality, creativity, and use of color. Gift certificates were awarded to each <br />winner and could be used at any 3 Rivers Parks. <br />The ideas presented by all were imaginative and thoughtful. It made it very difficult for us Commissioners to decide on who should win. The poster that really stood <br />out was 3rd grader, Bella Klements of St Charles. Her demonstration of both great color, placement, and clear water saving examples received a unanimous vote. The <br />remaining 2nd through 4th placements also illustrated unique and artistic ideas. <br />We would like to thank all of the participants and the teachers who aided in getting our contest distributed. <br />See if you can put into practice at home these winning and water saving ideas. <br />CONGRATULATIONS WINNERS! <br />1st Place—Bella Klement, 3rd Grade-St Charles <br />2nd Place—Eli Jordahl Redlin, 4th Grade-Wilshire <br />3rd Place—Elizabeth Mandyck, 4th Grade-Wilshire <br />Runner Up and “Best Original”—Addie Blenkush, 4th Grade-Wilshire <br />Chosen for <br />most colorful, <br />clear, and <br />concise. <br />Judges notes:
