Richfield Middle School students excel in county’s conservation poster contest

GET TO KNOW POSTER CONTEST WINNERS

By Gay GriesbachSpecial to Conley Media

RICHFIELD — FourRichfield Middle Schoolstudents used their artisticflair to gain a spot in theWashington County LandUse and Planning calendar.

Kylie Krueger, KaileyManz, Riya Kalluvila andAyla Ross were honoredduring an all-school assem-bly March 21.

Land and Water Conser-vation has been hosting aNational Association ofConservation DistrictsYouth Conservation PosterContest since 2008. NineWashington County schoolssubmitted 288 posters forjudging. With 77 entries,Richfield submitted themost posters.

The NACD Stewardshipand Education Committeehas developed a five-yearrotation for stewardshiptopics — water, soil, habi-tat, forestry and a topic ofinterest — and determinesthe theme each year. Thisyear’s theme was “Life inthe Soil, Dig Deeper.”

“I think that soil isimportant to us because weneed it to grow our every-day healthy foods. Alsomany animals and insectslive in the soil. Withouthealthy soil we wouldn’thave healthy foods or ani-mals,” said Manz, a sev-enth-grader who took firstplace in her age categoryand earned the cover spoton the calendar.

“Soil is the key to life.There wouldn’t be life with-out soil,” said Krueger, aseventh-grader who tookthird place in her division.

Laying down rootsThrough their art, stu-

dents added to their knowl-

edge of healthy soil.Art teacher Kassia John-

son brought in examples ofwinning work and Manz,who posts her artwork oninstagram, began her draw-ing at home.

Kalluvila looked for infor-mation on soil quality andpertinent quotes.

The sixth-grader incorpo-rated “Where food begins”and a Dalai Lama saying —“The roots of all goodnesslie in the soil” — into herartwork and she took sec-ond place in her division.

With the most entries —142 — in the fourth-through-sixth-grade gradeage group, Kalluvila andRoss faced the stiffest com-petition.

Before presenting themwith their awards at theassembly, WashingtonCounty Conservation Tech-nician Stephanie Egner

likened soil health to physi-cal health, receiving a neg-ative response when askingstudents if they did theirbest work when they wereunder the weather.

Media mixedRoss, whose preferred

medium is pencil, said theposters were done as a classproject, but entering thecontest was optional.

Being perfectionists, allfour didn’t think their artworthy of note, but allagreed if given the chance,they will enter again nextyear.

“After the contest my artimproved so much,”Krueger said.

Krueger applied two tech-niques, word art andpointillism, that she hadlearned in class.

Manz, who enjoys sketch-

ing in her free time, addedher own graphic twist.Ross, a sixth-grader at theschool who prefers to drawpeople, moved out of hercomfort zone to completeher creation.

Art isn’t the only talentfound in this dynamic quar-tet.

In her free time, Kalluvilaentered a Wildlife Foreverposter contest and won firstplace for grades fourthough six in Wisconsin

last year. She also practicesIndian classical dance onSaturdays.

“You work hard but Ienjoy it,” Kalluvila said.

Krueger was a NationalHistory Day regional win-ner, working on a topic withher twin sister, Ella.

Kalluvila, Krueger andRoss enjoy studying math.

“I like to work with num-bers,” Ross said.

“I like how math can beincorporated into the realworld,” Krueger said.

Manz prefers English.“I like the creativity

involved,” said Manz, whohas taken English classesthat incorporate storieswith art. “I think it helpedwith the poster.”

Krueger and Manz are onthe school’s volleyballteam, with Manz playingsince fifth grade in bothcompetition and intramu-ral forms of the sport.
