The Dolphins are Winners!

See the email announcement that came this afternoon from the coordinator of the rain barrel contest.

"We were so thrilled to receive some fantastic entries in this year – we can tell you and your students put in a lot of hard work and we couldn’t be happier!  
Our 2011 Best Rain Barrel Award goes to Ms. Barnwell’s class at Addison Elementary. Her students painted different plants – their stages of life and needs for survival – and how plants consumed water with ways to conserve.
Our Junior Water Warriors Award goes to Ms. Dang’s class at Murdock Elementary. To teach others about conservation efforts the class came up with its own campaign “Murdock Makes a Change.” They put up posters throughout the school, performed skits and songs for the morning announcements and even wrote persuasive papers urging citizens to save water – which were recently published in the Marietta Daily Journal!   
All of the participating students should be proud – and we want them to know that – so we’ll be sending an award to each classroom before school gets out for the summer. And for any students who are interested, we now have a Decorate Your Own Rain Barrel coloring sheet on our website – we’ll post selected barrels on our Facebook page!

Thanks again for taking the time for this worthwhile program and we hope to see each of your schools participating again next year!
