Each year, The National Association of Conservation Districts holds a poster contest about natural resources. Students put their creativity on display as they learn about topics like

• healthy forests
• pollinators
• and in this year’s case, “Healthy Soil, Healthy Life”

This year we helped Emerald Hills Elementary submit entries to the poster contest. We visited classrooms and taught activities about soil organisms and the benefits of healthy soil. Afterwards the students spent time turning their learning into artwork and we submitted their posters for them.

We would like to congratulate Morgan, a 2^nd grader, for submitting the winning poster! We can’t wait to see what the students come up for next years’ contest.
