The city of Austin hosted a flood safety poster contest with the theme, “Save Yourself! Turn Around – Don’t Drown,” to educate students about the dangers of flooding. Prizes included gift cards, a ride on Lady Bird Lake in a water rescue boat, and a Midland NOAA radio.

The results are in and Canyon Vista students took the top honors! 8th grader Rama H. won 2nd place and 8th grader Mia F. won first place.

“I was happy and I was surprised,” Mia said. Mia’s poster will be printed on a CapMetro bus from March 16th to April 16th.
