Keepers of the Earth 

Drawing & Essay Contest Results
Over 150 children participated in the Keepers of the Earth Drawing and Essay contest for children ages 4-11. 
 The theme, “What it means to you to be a Keeper of the Earth?” was answered with an outpouring of
care and concern for the planet.  The children really took to heart this very important question & shared many thoughts & ideas about what it means to be a good steward of planet earth.

All of the essay entries were carefully considered based on how the essay was structurally crafted, the content of the work, and the expression of understanding the importance of connection with the natural world. 

All of the entries demonstrated real compassion and a heartfelt desire to be a good steward.
