The theme of the 22nd Annual International Children's Painting Competition sponsored by the United Nations Environment Program was "Water: Where Does It Come From?"  Students were asked to think about the responsibility we all share to ensure a healthy, secure and sustainable water supply for our communities, environment and economy as our quality of life depends on it.  E. Garvey, a grade five student, won 2nd Place in the contest and a trip to Portland, Oregon in June to celebrate United Nations World Environment Day and receive her award. Congratulations!
