Emma Slater, Grade 5  

Congratulations! Your student, Emma Slater, has been selected as a winner for their outstanding (art) entry submitted to the New York City Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) 36th annual Water Resources Art and Poetry Contest. The entry was beautifully executed and shows a genuine understanding of, and appreciation for, New York’s water resources. We received more than 1,500 exceptional pieces of artwork and poetry from watershed and New York City students this year, making our selection process very challenging!

 This year’s Water Champions (students with winning poetry and art) are invited to attend a special virtual event in honor of their outstanding work. We hope that Emma and guests will be able to attend.
