[Durham INC] Entries Needed (by Feb 10)! Durham Conservation Contests for 6th-8th grade. Cash Prizes!

[Melissa Rooney]

>> 
>> I am a DPS parent and an associate supervisor on Durham’s Soil and Water Conservation District, which holds annual conservation contests for Durham kids. The winners and their teachers receive cash prizes as well as certificates, awarded at a dinner provided by the SWCD.My daughter won the poster contest when she was in 5th grade, and many of my daughter’s LGMS 6th-grade classmates (under Mr. Brown, Science) placed or won in these contests. In every case, it was a wonderful experience for all involved. Since then I have witnessed dozens of students' and their teachers’ pleasure with having participated in this opportunity.
>> 
>> Sorry for the late notice, but I only recently was informed of the lack of entries. We need entries to make these contests relevant, but the low number of entries also increases the chances that one of your students will win.
>> 
>> Please spread the word to teachers at your schools. If teachers cannot incorporate it into your class assignments, please ask them to inform their students about these contests, emphasizing that there are cash prizes (this was my daughter’s and her friends' favorite part, of course) as soon as possible, so that they can work on their submissions this weekend if they so desire.
>> 
>> The brochures for each contest (poster, essay, public speaking) are attached below.
>> 
>> Thanks for your support!
