2008 Contest Winners

             The theme for this year’s contest was “Water is Life”. Earth is the water planet.  If you look at a picture, you can see all the oceans, lakes and streams that cover the globe.  Where water is abundant, so is the diversity of life forms.  Those places where water is hard to find, fewer creatures live.  All living creatures require water, even our bodies are made up of over 60% water.  This year’s theme focused on how important water is in our everyday lives.  We use water from the time we rise in the mornings, until we go to sleep at night.  The students learned how we use water, and also how we waste it.

             The District received a total of 274 posters in 9 divisions ranging from kindergarten to 9th grade.  The district also had 4 essay and 4 speech entries.  All first place winners will be advancing on to the Area V Contest where the students will compete against other students from Southeast Oklahoma.  The winners include:
