An Osage Beach student’s suggestion to "go with the flow" won top honors in the Missouri Department of Natural Resources’ Earth Day 2014 Slogan Contest.
Mallory Bartels, a fifth-grader at Camdenton R-3 –Capstone Gifted Center, submitted the slogan, "Watersheds: Go with the flow, clean H20," based on the 2014 Earth Day theme, "Watersheds".
Bartels will be honored on stage at Earth Day 2014, which will be held April 25 on the South Lawn of the Capitol in Jefferson City. She will also receive a $50 gift card donated by Central Bank of Jefferson City. The department received nearly 250 entries in the contest.
Earth Day 2014 is the 20th annual Earth Day event sponsored by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. Between 1,000 and 2,000 students are expected to attend the event, which will include educational activities, contests and stage shows.
