The contest was in conjunction with the
observance of National Drinking Water Week.
The contest was for the second graders at Hardin
Park and Two Rivers elementary schools.
“ This year, we had 100-percent participation from
all classes, and each class will get a field trip to the water treatment plant, as well as a pizza
party picnic to celebrate their hard work,” program coordinator Lane Weiss said.
