Bethel student wins state poster contest
Bethel Elementary School third-grader Jade Cody has been named the state winner in a poster contest sponsored by the N.C. Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts and the N.C. Division of Soil and Water Conservation.
This year’s contest theme was “Water … the Cycle of Life.” Cody, who is in Meredith Allen’s class, showed each of the steps in the water cycle and correlated them with a specific place on the globe. Before making it to Raleigh, Cody had to win the Haywood Soil and Water Conservation District contest and then the regional competition. She received $50 for winning the district contest, a $50 gift card for winning the area contest and will receive $200 for her state win.
The poster contest is one of several competitions offered through conservation district that include essay, slide show, public speaking and computer-designed poster contests for grades three through nine. Next year’s contest theme is “The Living Soil.”
