Students in Jackson County got a chance to show the artistic side of what it means to live in a watershed with a poster, essay and slideshow contest sponsored by the county’s Soil and Water Conservation District.

The purpose of the annual contest is to educate students about issues affecting land and water, with this year’s theme “we all live in a watershed.” Winners receive a trophy and prize money, with first place winners advancing to the area-wide contest and subsequent winners advancing to the state level.   

Fifth grade poster winners: Brianna Bryson (first); Alyssa Crisp (second); Sayumi De Silvia (third); Macy Wike (honorable mention). 

Sixth grade essay winners: Olivia McFadden (first); Taleigh Verrault (second).

Sixth grade slide show winners: Nicholas Boone (first); Jabari Woods (second); Landon Smith (third); Emma Phillips (honorable mention).
