Written by

Swain County students got creative on the theme “Wetlands are Wonderful” this spring, sending in their bookmark designs for a contest hosted by Swain Soil and Water Conservation District. 

After learning about wetlands in class, third- through fifth-graders sent their designs in competition for cash prizes, with the first place winner from each school getting their bookmark printed off and distributed school-wide. 

The winners were:

• Swain East Elementary — First place, Hailey Strickland; second place, Aiyana Toineeta; third place, Emma McCoy. 

• Grace Christian Academy — First place, Brixton Reed; second place, Tazanna Jones; third place, Kirsten Lee Walters.
