The Lahontan and Stillwater Conservation District announced the winners of their "One Water" poster contest. The creative competition engaged students from Oasis, Churchill County High School, and the Churchill County School District - Title VI Program.

This annual contest is organized by the National Association of Conservation Districts and NACD Auxiliary, who invited students from kindergarten through 12th grade to showcase their artwork in support of national conservation efforts. 

The contest theme, “One Water,” invites participants to examine watersheds – an area of land that channels rainfall and snowmelt to creeks, streams, and rivers, eventually leading to outflow points such as reservoirs, bays, and the ocean. Thus, those bodies of water are connected, so every drop that falls becomes part of “One Water.”

  • This year’s winners are:
    1st place in the 10-12 grade category, Elayne Ernst, from Churchill County High School winning $100. Elayne also earned 2nd place in the same category in the state competition, winning $30. 
  • 2nd place in the 10-12 grade category, Nateya Wiggins, from Churchill County High School winning $50.
  • 1st place in the 7-9 grade category, Haley Bowman (Flick), from Oasis Academy, winning $100.00.
  • 1st place in the 2-3 grade category, Zane Conway from Churchill County School District – Title VI Program, winning $100.
