Congratulations to WCAAD student Lucas Barreto, 10 years old, for winning the 2nd Place award at the 2025 art contest themed “Being Water Wise is…” By framing water conservation as a "superhero" endeavor, this award-winning work transforms a serious environmental theme into a narrative that resonates with young audiences. It captures both the creative innocence of a child and the precise communication of a meaningful message.
