Haywood Waterways announces T-shirt design winners

Heather Grant of Bethel Middle School will see her artwork on 700 T-shirts after winning this year’s T-shirt design contest with the Haywood Waterways Association.

Her design incorporated what she had learned about stream ecology and chemistry, making it stand out from the rest of the entries. In September, every eighth-grader in Haywood County Public Schools will wear a T-shirt featuring Grant’s design during the 20th annual Kids in the Creek education event. The program gives students hands-on learning experience about watersheds, chemistry and wildlife found in local streams. Since its inception, Haywood Waterways has reached more than 13,000 students through this event. 

Finishing second and third in the contest, respectively, were Emily Ingham and Allyson Jones, both of Canton Middle School. As prizes, Grant received a Visa gift card from HomeTrust Bank, Ingham received a gift certificate to Jukebox Junction Restaurant and Soda Shoppe and Jones received a gift certificate to Jack the Dipper Ice Cream Parlor.
