The City of Winter Garden recently took part in the annual Drop Savers Poster Contest sponsored by the Florida Section of the American Water Works Association (FSAWWA). The City received 82 posters from local schools: 

Congratulations to the winners in the following divisions:

• Division 4:  (Middle School) Foundation Academy student (FSAWWA 1^st Place Winner)
• Division 5:  (High School) West Orange High School student (FSAWW 1^st Place Winner)

A panel of judges selected one winner of each age category based on message, creativity, and originality. The five winning posters moved on to the state level competition, in which three entries won: Middle and High School entries each won first place, and the 2^nd & 3^rd Grade entry won 2^nd Place.

The contest was open to students in grades K-12.  Students were encouraged to create a poster depicting a water conservation idea in slogan form, drawing form, or both. The contest teaches younger students, and reminds older students, about the importance of water conservation.  The students were recognized at the City Commission Meeting on April 13. Special thanks to the schools, students, and teachers for their participation!
