Announcing the 2024 Poster Contest Winners-Congratulations to each of the students selected to be printed in the SCISWA 2025 Reduce Reuse Recycle calendar!
Elementary students in third through fifth grades from Lucas, Marion, Monroe and Poweshiek counties participated in the annual SCISWA Poster Contest. Students were asked to create a poster illustrating ways they use the Three R’s to reduce their environmental impact. Twenty-five posters were selected by the SCISWA Environmental Core Team to be printed in our 2025 Reduce Reuse Recycle calendar.
Thank you to the nearly 500 students who participated in this year’s contest as well as the school staff and parents who supported them.
