WATER CONSERVATION CONTEST WINNERS |
|
Redwood City is proud to present the 26th annual Water Conservation Poster Contest Winners at the Downtown Library. Come by the Family Place to see the artwork of the winning students!
The purpose of the Water Conservation Poster Contest is to educate the next generation about the importance of conserving water. Developing a water wise culture at an early age is vital to the success of managing our water into the future.
Redwood City kindergarten through 5th grade students were asked to use their artistic abilities to illustrate key water conservation messages. Redwood City honors, and thanks ALL participants of the contest. Congratulations to our young artists!
