Kylie Krueger, Kailey Manz, Riya Kalluvila and Ayla Ross were honored during an all-school assem- bly March 21. Land and Water Conser- vation has been hosting a National Association of Conservation Districts Youth Conservation Poster Contest since 2008. Nine Washington County schools submitted 288 posters for judging. With 77 entries, Richfield submitted the most posters. The NACD Stewardship and Education Committee has developed a five-year rotation for stewardship topics — water, soil, habi- tat, forestry and a topic of interest — and determines the theme each year. This year’s theme was “Life in the Soil, Dig Deeper.” “I think that soil is important to us because we need it to grow our every- day healthy foods. Also many animals and insects live in the soil. Without healthy soil we wouldn’t have healthy foods or ani- mals,” said Manz, a sev- enth-grader who took first place in her age category and earned the cover spot on the calendar. “Soil is the key to life. There wouldn’t be life with- out soil,” said Krueger, a seventh-grader who took third place in her division. Laying down roots Through their art, stu- dents added to their knowl- edge of healthy soil. Art teacher Kassia John- son brought in examples of winning work and Manz, who posts her artwork on instagram, began her draw- ing at home. Kalluvila looked for infor- mation on soil quality and pertinent quotes. The sixth-grader incorpo- rated “Where food begins” and a Dalai Lama saying — “The roots of all goodness lie in the soil” — into her artwork and she took sec- ond place in her division. With the most entries — 142 in the fourth- through-sixth-grade grade age group, Kalluvila and Ross faced the stiffest com- petition. Before presenting them with their awards at the assembly, Washington County Conservation Tech- nician Stephanie Egner likened soil health to physi- cal health, receiving a neg- ative response when asking students if they did their best work when they were under the weather. Media mixed Ross, whose preferred medium is pencil, said the posters were done as a class project, but entering the contest was optional. Being perfectionists, all four didn’t think their art worthy of note, but all agreed if given the chance, they will enter again next year. “After the contest my art improved so much,” Krueger said. Krueger applied two tech- niques, word art and pointillism, that she had learned in class. Manz, who enjoys sketch- ing in her free time, added her own graphic twist. Ross, a sixth-grader at the school who prefers to draw people, moved out of her comfort zone to complete her creation. Art isn’t the only talent found in this dynamic quar- tet. In her free time, Kalluvila entered a Wildlife Forever poster contest and won first place for grades four though six in Wisconsin last year. She also practices Indian classical dance on Saturdays. “You work hard but I enjoy it,” Kalluvila said. Krueger was a National History Day regional win- ner, working on a topic with her twin sister, Ella. Kalluvila, Krueger and Ross enjoy studying math. “I like to work with num- bers,” Ross said. “I like how math can be incorporated into the real world,” Krueger said. Manz prefers English. “I like the creativity involved,” said Manz, who has taken English classes that incorporate stories with art. “I think it helped with the poster.” Krueger and Manz are on the school’s volleyball team, with Manz playing since fifth grade in both competition and intramu- ral forms of the sport. 261439013 Works will appear in county calendar Gay Griesbach/Special to Conley Media Richfield Middle School students Kylie Krueger, Riya Kalluvila, Kailey Manz and Ayla Ross earned spots in an upcoming county calendar for their work in the National Association of Conservation Districts Youth Conservation Poster Contest.
