Defenders in Action: Kids Win Savings Bonds In Wolf Essay and Poster Contests
With more than 1,600 kids entering Defenders'
national wolf essay and poster contests, it wasn't easy to pick winners, but the
judges have made their selections.
Brian Fullwood of Adamsville, Tenn.,
Raven Sanders of Baton Rouge, La., and Keisha Uhl of Stanley, Idaho, won first,
second and third places, respectively, in the essay contest.
Winners of
the poster contest were Catherine Rivard of Arlington, Minn., Seung-Yea Shin of
Duluth, Ga., and Hollyann Popp of Salem, Ohio.
Students submitted interesting, innovative essays
titled "Protecting Wolves in the United States" and posters titled "Wolves in
Wild Places."
The contests helped raise students' awareness about this
important species and how wolves impact ecosystems. Winners received $1,000,
$500 or $250 savings bonds.
