Mill Valley Students Take Home MMWD Coloring Contest Prizes

Four Mill Valley students and a whole class of third graders at Park School took home prizes in an art contest celebrating Marin Municipal Water District’s 100-year anniversary.

Amy Faulkner’s third grade class at Park School garnered Honorable Mention among the class winners, while Mill Valley Middle School sixth graders Nattasia Ferrin and Arista Andrews earned third place and honorable mention, respectively, among older students. Park second grader Eva Knowles, and Tam Valley first grader Noelle Tober also garnered honorable mention.

About 300 students representing 20 different schools entered the contest, which the water district sponsored as part of its centennial anniversary celebrations. April 25, 2012, marked 100 years since MMWD received its charter as the first municipal water district in California.

The young artists used crayons, markers, colored pencils, paints, glue, glitter, tissue paper and other materials to color an outline of Mt. Tamalpais and Bon Tempe Reservoir. See below for a complete list of winners.

Each of the first-place individual winners took home an award certificate and a check for $100. The second and third place winners received $50 and $25, respectively. The class winners received $100 for their classes.
