Students paint picture of water wisdom

The Padre Dam Municipal Water District serves the city of Santee and unincorporated areas of East County. On June 6, its Board of Directors announced the winners of the district’s “Being Water Wise is…” Student Poster Contest. Thirteen students in grades kindergarten through fifth grade from schools in Santee and Alpine took the top spot for their creativity and eye-catching artwork.

The thirteen winning pieces of art were selected from over 400 entries. Each hand-drawn poster was created around the theme “Being Water Wise Is…” The students’ artwork shed light on wise and efficient water use at home, school, and throughout the community. Boulder Oaks Elementary School in Alpine was recognized as this year’s top submitting school. The school will receive a sponsored Splash Mobile Science Lab during the upcoming academic year. Some of this artwork will advance to a regional art contest held by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. Entries from Metropolitan’s 26 member agencies will be judged, and winners will be featured in their 2025 calendar. This calendar is expected to be distributed to about 13,000 recipients.
