The Schuyler Soil and Water Conservation District sponsored the 2024 Poster Contest through the school with assistance from the art teacher, Ms. Kassens. The goal of the project is to build youth awareness around soil conservation, water quality, and environmental stewardship. Schuyler R-1 3rd and 4th graders completed posters around this year’s theme of “May the Forest Be With You”. Posters were then judged by individuals external to the district and unrelated to the artists. The winners were celebrated at the assembly held on May 16th. Darla Campbell, SWCD board secretary presented the winners money, a certificate, and a ribbon, while the students exhibited their posters to pre-K through 6th grade. First place winners will compete statewide.
