The Hicksville Water District (HWD) recently held an awards ceremony to celebrate the 21 winners of the 2022 Water Conservation Poster Contest. An annual tradition in the District, the poster contest is held for Hicksville students in grades 1 through 5. This contest allows students to learn about the importance of water conservation, as well as the necessity of protecting our sole-source aquifer. Water is our most precious natural resource, and this contest allows students to express their own creativity as well as inspiring them to begin conserving water ahead of the very usage-heavy summer irrigation season. "Our annual poster contest is always one of the most exciting times of the year for us at the Hicksville Water District," said HWD Chairman Nicholas Brigandi. "It shows us that our conservation messaging is not only effective, but that it has also ignited a passion within our young people for the protection of our most precious resource. Water conservation is a crucial aspect of the success of our community, and with the great work on display this year, we are confident that our water will be in good hands in future generations." The winners of the 2022 poster contest are as follows: · Grade 2 o Justin Bernard- Fork Lane School o Royce Zuniga- Fork Lane School o Teghveer Singh- Fork Lane School Grade 3 o Kara Baroni- East Street School o Sofia Cortes- Fork Lane Schoolo Ryan Gonzales- East Street Schoolo Mia Mancuso- Fork Lane Schoolo Evalyn Papagiannis- Fork Lane Schoolo Abigail Sand- East Street School Grade 4 o Irbah Choudhury- Fork Lane School o Sophia Giron- East Street Schoolo Zainab Imran- Fork Lane Schoolo Aryahi Patel- East Street Schoolo Oliver Wen- Fork Lane Schoolo Rida Zia- East Street School Grade 5 o Alison Comer- Fork Lane School o Andrew Euceola Gomez- Fork Lane School o Mario Moreno- Fork Lane School o Molly Reinhardt- East Street School o Sophia Reyes- East Street School o Evangelia Varthis- East Street School The winners are determined after deliberation from the Board of Commissioners on creativity, design and overall message of water conservation.
