Bladen Soil and Water Conservation District proudly announces that a Bladen Lakes Primary School
student, Isabel Gardner, whose teacher is Mrs. Angela Butcher, is the winner at the State Level in the
2022 Fourth grade level Poster contest. The contest is open to Bladen County Academy, Primary,
Elementary, and Middle school students. This year’s theme is “Soil and Water…Yours for Life.”
Isabel won at the Bladen District level and Area 7 level (nine Soil and Water Districts) competitions
before advancing to State-level competition, where her entry was judged along with entries from across
the state.
The District is happy to have had so many students participate in our contests this year, and we thank
all of the teachers who made time for these competitions. The Soil and Water Conservation District
believes that teaching students the importance of conserving our natural resources at an early age will
benefit everyone in the future. Congratulations, Isabel!
