Conservation Poster Contest

The Conservation Poster Contest is open to all students in kindergarten through twelfth grade. A different theme, for the posters, is selected each year and is usually based on the National Wildlife theme for the year. All county school teachers and art teachers receive support materials for each theme. Please remember that all posters must adhere to contest rules.

In 2000, students were able to choose from one of three themes, "Water for Life -- Keep the Wild Alive", "On the Verge of a New Millennium: Today's Lesson -- Shaping Tomorrow's World", and "Community Waters". The Conservation District awarded prizes to winners in four age categories. Awards were presented at school award ceremonies.

The local 1st place winners for 2000 were:

Category	Winner	School	Teacher	Grade
Kindergarten - First	Logan Struble	Liberty-Curtin	Mrs. Lopes	1st
Second - Third	Katy Beth Shuey	McGhee	Mrs. Jones	2nd
Fourth - Sixth	Nicole McGhee	Liberty-Curtin	Mrs. Lopes	4th
Seventh - Ninth	Roxanne Barton	CMMS-West	Mrs. Bowers	9th

All of the local first place winners were entered in the correlating State Poster Contest sponsored by the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts. Anyone placing first in their age category at the state level will then be entered into the National Poster Contest. Roxanne Barton won first place in the seventh to ninth grade category at the state level. She will now go on to compete at the national level.
