Haywood Christian Academy is pleased to announce that Benjamin Lynch placed second in the Haywood Soil and Water Conservation District annual poster contest.

The poster contest was open to all third through fifth-graders in Haywood County.

Benjamin is a third-grader in Mrs. Amy Crawford's class. "Participating in the soil and water conservation poster contest has been a great tradition in schools," said Crawford. "It is one that I can remember participating in myself as a third grader. It is wonderful to see a child's hard work rewarded. Benjamin's class and I are so proud of him."

Benjamin's poster incorporated this year's theme, "The Living Soil." He was rewarded for his talent and effort with a trophy and $25.
