FOOTHILL MWD OPENS K-12 STUDENT ART CONTEST

Foothill Municipal Water District (Foothill MWD) is conducting its 
5th annual K-12 student art contest with the theme of competition 
adhering to the phrase: “Water Is Life”. This is a fun and educational 
project that serves to inspire student creativity while considering the 
stewardship of our precious water resources. The contest is open 
to all students K-12 attending a school located within the Foothill 
MWD service area, including all schools located in the City of La 
Cañada Flintridge.

 Art must be submitted on 12-inch x 18-inch white poster board 
or drawing paper with a one-inch blank space or white area left 
on all four sides of the artwork. Entries may use the following art 
media: crayons, markers, pencil, paints, watercolors, pastels, cut 
paper or fabric. Photography or computer generated artwork is not 
permitted.

 A new development for the 2016 “Water Is Life” Student Art 
Contest is the inclusion of three separate award categories! All art 
entries will now be separated into three groups (Grades K-5, 6-8, 
and 9-12) prior to judging.

 The grand prize winning entry for each category will receive $150 
for the student and a $100 gift card for the sponsoring teacher.

This event is co-sponsored by the Metropolitan Water District 
of Southern California (MWD) and all winning entries will be 
submitted to MWD for a second round of competition to be 
included in the 2017 “Water Is Life” Student Artwork Calendar.

 Deadline for entries is April 1, 2016, including postmarked 
submissions. Late entries may be accepted at the discretion 
of Foothill MWD. For further information about the contest, 
including all rules, judging criteria, and other prizes, please visit

ART CONTEST on the main page.

WEIZMANN DAY SCHOOL BRINGS IN GUEST LECTURERS

At Pasadena’s Weizmann Day School (K-8), students develop 
a love of learning through exposure to a breadth of academic 
subjects (including language immersion, fine arts, and music). 
Classes are taught by exceptional teachers who nurture 
individual aptitudes and learning styles. Classroom studies are 
enriched with frequent interactive learning experiences such 
as guest lecturers from JPL and Cal Tech, and visits to concert 
halls, nature preserves, and museums. In addition, Weizmann 
students actively participate in community-service projects 
focused on the Jewish tradition of “Tikkun Olam,” making the 
world a better place. 

 In her two decades of leadership, Head of School, Lisa Feldman, 
has received numerous awards including the Mayor’s Model of 
Unity Award, Jewish Professional of the Year, and the Milken 
Educator Award. The school is accredited by WASC and the 
BJE. Graduates go on to attend prestigious area high schools, 
followed by top colleges and universities, and are often enrolled 
in advanced placement and honors programs. 

 Weizmann welcomes students and families from all Jewish, 
Inter-faith and non-Jewish backgrounds. For more information, 
or to schedule a tour, please call (626) 797-0204, email info@
weizmann.net or visit www.weizmann.net. Please use the
