WVWD Celebrates 2023 Poster Contest Winners
Local art contest recognizes local elementary students for focus on water conservation through artistic talent
RIALTO, Calif. – The West Valley Water District (WVWD) Board of Directors is proud to announce the winners of the 2023 Annual Poster Contest, a competition that engages local first through sixth-grade students to learn about and submit a drawing depicting a water conservation theme.
This year’s theme, “Water Conservation Starts with You” challenged students to portray what taking responsibility for their water use means to them and how they could make easy changes to their daily habits to save water.
“Congratulations to all the winners. I am truly amazed at the level of talent and thoughtfulness displayed by the winners,” said WVWD Board President Greg Young. “Together, we can continue to raise awareness about the significance of water conservation and work towards a sustainable future for generations to come.”
The winning students and their teachers were invited to attend WVWD’s October 19th Board Meeting where they were recognized for their hard work and praised for their participation as water conservation stewards.
“We are thankful to the schools, teachers and parents who encourage our local youth to participate with us each year and help bring this contest to life,” said WVWD General Manager John Thiel. “By fostering an early appreciation for environmental stewardship through a fun educational experience, we are able to inspire and teach our next generation of water leaders the importance of water-wise habits.”
