NORTH COUNTY WATER AGENCIES ANNUAL WATER AWARENESS POSTER CONTEST

Ramona - Water conservation is a way of life in Southern California.  As the cost of water and energy continue to rise, it becomes increasingly important to make every drop of water count.  As a member of the North County Water Agencies (NCWA), the Ramona Municipal Water District encourages using water wisely through public education and environmental awareness.  Increasing the knowledge of school children is vital to our future.  Their appreciation of the role water plays in sustaining life is critical to creating good water conservation habits today.

Fourth grade classes throughout the District were invited to participate in the 32^nd annual NCWA Water Awareness Poster Contest.  The theme for this year’s contest was “Love Water, Save Water.”  Three posters from Ramona students have been selected as contest finalists. Participating students used their imagination to illustrate how to “Love Water, Save Water” by showing ways to love or save water at home or school, ways to love saving water so there’s enough for all living things, imaginative new ways others may love to save or recycle water for the future, ways to prevent water pollution, or show how our ancestors may have loved to save water.

            All three Ramona posters will be included in the annual NCWA 2024 calendar.  The 1st place poster will be featured to represent Ramona as a full page for one of the twelve months. The posters selected are:

                The students’ artwork depicts their awareness of water as our most precious natural resource.  Although only the top three posters are showcased in the annual calendar, every participating fourth grader comes away a winner by having a greater appreciation of water, a limited resource essential to life.  The District extends a special “thank you” to the teachers and parents who encouraged their students to participate in this water awareness activity.
