Winners of a fifth-grade poster contest were announced at the Mancos Public Library on Oct. 3.<\/p>\n
The Colorado Association of Conservation Districts and the National Association of Conservation Districts sponsored the \u201cHealthy Soils are Full of Life\u201d poster contest at the state level, open to fifth- and-sixth grade students. The Mancos Conservation District and the Montezuma School to Farm Project opened the contest to the fifth-grade class at Mancos Elementary but hopes to open it up to both grades next year, according to Gretchen Rank, district manager of the Mancos Conservation District.<\/p>\n
According to an instruction and entry form from CACD, posters that placed first and second will move on to a state level competition on Nov. 27, where they will be judged at the CACD\u2019s annual meeting in January.<\/p>\n
The students created posters to hang in the Mancos Public Library for two weeks for the public to vote on for cash prizes.<\/p>\n
District level awards were $50 for first place, $30 for second place and $20 for third place. The monetary awards increase at the state and national levels.<\/p>\n
The students were awarded first-, second- and third-place ribbons by Ben Walcott, Mancos Conservation District board member and rancher in Mancos. The whole class received cupcakes.<\/p>\n
Madison Archuleta won first place, Adeline Kearns won second place, and Kaitlynn Kay Bain won third place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
