Protecting and conserving our Natural Resources ~ Canyon Creek Elementary ~ RRISD ~ NW Austin ~ One World Challenge 2011-2012

The Canyon Creek Elementary PTA is again sponsoring "The One World Challenge!" Each year, the Environmental Awareness committee highights a current environmental or conservation issue for students to utilize their creativity and offers the challenge to all students attending CCE School.

Water conversation is increasingly becoming an important concern. According to the statistics, 36 states are anticipating water shortages by 2013 and Texas is one of them. Whether this is due to population growth, availability of water or environmental concerns, water conservation is becoming a major focal point. The current drought has simply intensified that effort.

Students are invited to create a solution and use their imagination to address the protection and conservation of our water resources. Solutions may be submitted in any of the following three formats:

Visual - Open to all grade divisions (K-5)
Essay - Open to Intermediate (3-5) grade divisions
Public Service Announcement - Open to Intermediate (3-5) grade divisions

For more information about how to enter, program rules and guidelines and for resources related to the conservation issue, visit the following links:
