Darlington School was named second-place winner out of 10 finalists in the Georgia Conservancy’s 2004 Youth Environmental Symposium (YES), held Friday, April 30, 2004, at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Ga. The school received a cash prize of $1,000 for a project titled “Rome Wildlife Conservation and Education.”
According to Phil Titus, chair of the science department, Owen Kinney’s environmental science students have participated for the past three years, won prizes and will probably compete again next year.
Other winners were as follows: Coweta County 4-H Club in Newnan (first place); Cairo High School in Cairo (third place); North Habersham Middle School in Clarkesville (fourth place); Needwood Middle School in Brunswick (fifth place).
The grand-prize winner received a cash award of $2,000. Prize money is to be used for continued or enhanced implementation of the project or to purchase materials for the school’s library or science department.
YES showcases middle and high school student-led projects that address local environmental issues. All types of projects are eligible: stream clean-ups, recycling programs, schoolyard habitat construction, environmental education and advocacy initiatives.
