The City of Port St. Lucie’s Utility Systems in conjunction with Florida Section American Water Works Association (FSAWWA) is hosting a “Drop Savers” Poster Contest to bring awareness to students of the importance of water conservation. St. Lucie County school students in grades K-12 are invited to create a poster depicting a water conservation idea. Entries are due on March 2, 2018. Posters may be scheduled for pick-up by contacting Jenny Tomes at (772) 871-5131.
The contest teaches elementary-aged school children, and reminds middle and high school-aged teens, about the importance of water conservation. The City of Port St. Lucie acknowledges that one of the best opportunities to conserve water is through a long-range education and awareness program.
Jenny Tomes, Project Coordinator-Utility Outreach, is available to speak to classes about the importance of water conservation and help inspire ideas for poster entries. City of Port St. Lucie employees will judge the posters on their message, creativity, and originality. A winner will be chosen from each participating grade level. Each winner will receive a $25 Walmart gift card. The students will also be invited to attend a special presentation at a City Council Meeting where they will be recognized for their efforts. The winning posters will be submitted to the statewide “Drop Savers” Poster Contest, which will be held in mid-April.
