ATLANTA—
Governor Sonny Perdue announced today the winners of the Governor’s Water
Conservation Contest:
Fayetteville Intermediate School in
Fayetteville and River Eves Elementary School in Roswell. The Governor’s
Water Conservation Contest asked students in 3rd, 4th and 5th grades to develop
a water conservation plan for their community. The contest was designed to
encourage students to think creatively of ways to preserve water by designing a
plan that promotes water conservation.
“I am proud of all the hard work our young people, with the aid of
their teachers and families, have put forth in order to help Georgia in its
conservation efforts,” said Governor Sonny Perdue. “Our kids give us proof that
we all can come together to find innovative ways to conserve Georgia’s water
resources.”
The two schools will receive a $2,000 prize presented by contest
sponsor, The Home Depot, to be used to carry out the conservation plan in the
community. The individual plans chosen as the contest winners demonstrate
unique ways for communities to conserve water while spending less than $2,000.
Governor Perdue gathered a panel of
judges to review 85 entries representing over 2,500 students across Georgia.
Students came up with a conservation plan and described their proposed project
in a detailed essay that included an implementation budget. Each school’s
principal chose one winner to submit Governor Perdue for consideration.
The following is a list of the twelve
finalists chosen for the Governor’s Water Conservation Contest:
Brookstone School, Columbus
