Announcing the 2023 Poster Contest Winners-Congratulations to each of the students selected to be printed in the SCISWA 2024 ECOLOGY 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 the ways they can positively affect water quality in the spirit of improved ecology. Twenty-five posters were selected by the SCISWA Environmental Core Team to be printed in our 2024 ECOLOGY 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. A very special thank you to Scott Evans and the Red Rock Lake Association for supporting this contest and for their efforts to improve water quality throughout the region.
