Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) recently announced the winners for its annual Write Off contest. The contest had area students write and illustrate a book that will be incorporated into classroom curriculum as part of EMWD’s education programs.
For 2023, students were asked to create activity sheets that be included in the “Careers in Water Activity Book.” The program is designed to expose students to water industry career opportunities.
EMWD highlights thirty water industry careers in the book. Those careers include job titles, descriptions, required experience and education. Each highlighted career has a fun activity that students can participate in.
The winners of the contest are:
- Andrea Benitez, Francine Habacon and Leona Garcia, from Vista Verde Middle School in the Val Verde Unified School District; and
- Makayla Byrne, Cemone Bell and Greg Paunkov, from Linfield Christian Middle School.
Each student produced five activity sheets in the book. The book is intended to be used by teachers for career path planning for their students.
The annual Write Off contest is hosted in partnership with Rancho California Water District.
