Winning water-wise posters on display
Laguna Beach County Water District held its annual poster contest
for the water awareness month of May. More than 140 submissions were
received from first- through fifth-grade Laguna students. This year's
theme was "Be Water Smart! Laguna Beach Digs Water-Wise Gardens."
The top six contestants were: Anna Heitmann, Tomora O'Hara, Dina
Romeo and Peighton McRobie from El Morro Elementary School, and
Makenzie Fischer and Julian Rymar from Top of the World Elementary
School.
The students each received a $15 art supply gift certificate and a
T-shirt with their winning design. The artwork will be on display at
district headquarters, 306 Third St., through Saturday.
Volunteer tutors needed at El Morro
The American Association of University Women is looking for
volunteers to work with children at El Morro Elementary School.
Anyone who enjoys reading with children or helping with homework is

The Help a Child program takes place during school hours.
Volunteers work in the classroom with the teacher, often in small
groups. The Learning Club takes place after school on Tuesday and
