Local Kid Catalena Kuntz Second Place Grades 2-3 in Statewide Poster Contest!

Poster Contest Winners

At the MACD Spring Board meeting we had the pleasure of judging posters from across the state for the annual NACD Poster Contest. Districts asked local students to create posters around this year’s theme, “Local Heroes: Your Hard Working Pollinators”. Each district submitted their top posters in each age category to the state contest.

Those that received first place as judged in the state contest at the spring board meeting will be sent to the National Association of Conservation Districts to compete with other posters from across the nation.

Here are our state contest winners:  see posters at link–http://macdnet.org/blog/2015/06/17/poster-contest-winners/
