Fontana student receives first-place award in art contest
The Wisconsin Rural Water Association hosted its 17th annual state-wide art contest, with the theme of "Save Water, Shape Tomorrow," asking students to "think about how our actions and choices about water use today have long term implications. Our actions now affect the future of water, and we have a choice about what that future will look like."
About 700 secondtrough-sixth-grade students throughout Wisconsin participated in the contest.
The top 15 posters from each grade were submitted to the annual Technical Conference in Green Bay, which was held between March 24-27. The final winners were voted upon by attendees of the conference, and announced the following week.
Fontana student Ellie Ferretti won first place in the sixth-grade category for her poster drawing.
Andrew Aslesen, WRWA source water specialist, presented her with a $100 check for her prize.
Aslesen also gave a hands-on presentation to Fontana fourth-grade students about groundwater. He brought various types of underground rocks to show how they interact with water.
He also showed a working model of a well system, showing how pollution affects water sources of various depths.
Aslesen shared that out of 326 million trillion gallons of water available on the planet, only a miniscule portion of that is available for human consumption.
As a demonstration, he instructed fourth-grade student Grace Booth to remove 10 spoonfuls of water from a fish bowl.
