CORINTH – Gov. John E. Baldacci recently congratulated three pupils from Central Middle School in Corinth for being selected winners of the 2006 Maine Clean Water Week Poster Contest. The 2006 theme was “What Clean Water Means to Me.”

The contest generated more than 80 entries from schools throughout Maine. Baldacci congratulated the students and the administration for having all three finalists come from Central Middle School.

“You should be proud that you have helped create awareness of this by creating your posters,” said Baldacci, “and you should be proud that you did it so well.”

Awards went to:

. First place, Sarah Jacobs of Corinth.

. Second place, Katrina Poole of Kenduskeag.

. Third place, Christina Fowler of Kenduskeag.

All three finalists are in the eighth grade.

A framed copy of the first place poster by Sarah Jacobs was presented to Baldacci for the governor’s office. Baldacci autographed each finalist’s entry for them to take home.
