Announcing the 2023 Centennial Poster Contest Winners!

To commemorate our 100^th anniversary, the Jericho Water District held our first Poster Contest for district residents in grades K-12.  The hope of the contest was to encourage JWD residents and their families to learn more about the water district, water conservation and protecting earth’s most precious resource.

We want to thank everyone that submitted a poster and are proud of all the participants.  Thank you to the Syosset Central School District, Jericho Union Free School District and The Syosset and Jericho libraries for their assistance with coordinating and spreading the information to the community. Thirty-seven entries were received and first, second and third place winners were chosen in each of the categories, (Kindergarten to 2^nd grade, 3^rd to 5^th grade, 6^th to 8^th grade and 9^th to 12 grade).
