Do not litter in the homes of these critters
I’m Jessica Pedro-Pascual! I graduated from Bermudian Springs High School, York Springs, PA, in 2021, and now attend Cornell University, Ithaca, NY. I am very passionate about sustainability and environmental awareness; as a result, I’m majoring in International Agriculture and Rural Development. I am a steward for the Master Watershed Steward program and was fortunate enough to participate in both the 2020 and 2021 Street 2 Creek Storm Drain Art Contest. Outside of my agricultural-driven endeavors, you can find me doing all sorts of art forms such as painting, drawing, and customizing.

3rd Place - Wendy sanchez
Water is life - Take care of it
My name is Wendy Sanchez. I recently graduated from Bermudian Springs High School and I’m looking into going to Cosmetology school in the near future. Art has been a huge part of my life ever since I was little, and I am very blessed to be able to have opportunities like these to show off my work. I am self taught, but I've taken art and graphic design courses throughout my 4 years of high school as well. I have also been given the chance to design ads for local companies such as the Gettysburg Outlet and Mister Ed's Elephant Museum & Candy Emporium. I take pride in what I do and I’m happy to be able to participate in these opportunities to spread awareness within the community.
