Hickory student wins watershed art contest
Margo Bonal, a homeschool student from Hickory, placed first in western Pennsylvania in Pennsylvania American Water’s “Protect Our Watersheds” art contest.
The company received several hundred entries from fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders throughout the state.
Margo’s artwork depicted a picnic along a stream, with the reminder to “look ahead to your watershed” by properly disposing of litter. She will receive a gift card for her winning entry.
The contest requires that students’ artwork be accompanied by a short description of how watershed protection affects them personally. After reviewing the entries, a panel of judges selected three top drawings from both eastern and western Pennsylvania.
