Countywide : Water District Honors Competition Winners
Thirteen Orange County students were recently selected winners in the 1995 “Water is Life” poster and slogan contests sponsored by the Municipal Water District of Orange County.
The contests are part of the water district’s 21-year water education program, designed to educate youngsters about water and water conservation.
From more than 2,000 entries, 13 students in kindergarten through the sixth grade were selected as winners. Vi Dieu Nguyen, a sixth-grader from A.G. Currie Middle School in Tustin was the grand prize winner.
In the poster contest, Christine Hong, a second-grader at Heritage Oak Elementary School in Fullerton was the first place winner in the kindergarten- through third-grade category. Michael Nguyen, a fifth-grade student at Heritage School in Santa Ana, was awarded first place in the fourth- through sixth-grade category of the poster contest.
Twelve other students received honorable mention for their ideas about water resources and conservation issues.
Fifteen elementary school students were also named winners in the separate slogan contest.
All of the contest winners were recognized at an awards ceremony Sunday at the water district’s Fountain Valley facility.
