Since 1960, the American Public Works Association has sponsored National Public Works Week. <br />Across North America. The association has more than 29,000 members in the U.S. and Canada and <br />use this week to energize and educate the public on the importance of public works to their daily <br />lives: planning, building, managing and operating at the heart of their local communities to improve <br />everyday quality of life. <br />rd <br />During the 3 week in May of each year, across the US and Canada, many local cities take time to <br />organize activities that promote the education of Public Works within their communities. There are <br />many different types of activities and events that take place. The City of La Porte participated in this <br />promotional opportunity this year with a few activities including hosting a coloring book page coloring <br />contest within one of the local elementary schools at the third grade level. The participating school, <br />Bayshore Elementary, and the third grade teacher, Ms. Joanne Holt, allowed our Public Works staff to <br />come and give the students a little background on our contest. The teach chose a specific page out <br />of the PW Paws coloring Book and the kids went to work! There were 17 kiddos that did an <br />outstanding job of coloring! The challenge with our PW judging committee was to choose the top 3. <br />After much deliberation and consideration, the winners were chosen. <br />We were and are very proud to present the following contest winners: <br />rd <br />3 Place: Lorelai Young <br />nd <br />2 Place: Melonni Pulido <br />st <br />1 Place: Brandon Guerra <br />Please help me in congratulating our winners! <br /> <br />
