Community Involvement
Look for FOWD participating in the following community events:
Annual Poster Calendar Contest
American Cancer Society Relay for Life Event
American River Salmon Festival
Annual Poster Calendar Contest
Each Winter, local Fourth, Fifth and Sixth
graders are invited to participate in the “Fair Oaks Water District Annual
Poster Calendar Contest.” The participating students are given a theme
related to conservation, and are then asked to create a poster based on that
chosen theme. The posters are judged by Fair Oaks Water District staff, who
select three winners from all of the entries. Each winner receives a
savings bond, and their class receives a one hundred dollar award for
classroom supplies. The three top winners are then judged separately by the
San Juan Family of Water Agencies, competing for “Grand Prize” (the cover of
our Annual Calendar). However, all of our winners are featured in the Fair
Oaks Water District Annual Poster Calendar.
Congratulations to the 2010 Contest Winners!
1st Place Winner Suzanne Sanchez
3rd Place Winner Colton Gipson
