Illinois American Water Wants to Hear from Kids

By Neil Doyle

Illinois American Water is inviting 3rd, 4th and 5th grade classrooms to participate in an “Imagine a Day Without Water” art contest.

This art contest is being offered in conjunction with the Value of Water Coalition’s “Imagine a Day Without Water” event.  All across the nation, events and activities will take place to highlight the important, and often taken for granted, role drinking water plays. 

Students are asked to draw a picture and write one sentence that describes what water service and a day without water means to them.  Winning students will win their classroom a $100 donation.  Artwork may also be featured in a future bill insert and other Illinois American Water communication pieces.

Teachers can find instructions and materials about the contest online at www.illinoisamwater.com.
