ROSALIA - The Rosalia Garden Club received the highest number of points for working with youth for the second year in a row.
The Washington State Federation of Garden Clubs determined Rosalia was the highest scoring club, according to Publicity Chairman Marva Lee Peterschick.
The club recently conducted three programs to involve youth.
The club sponsored Rosalia school children in a Pollinator Power contest and five children received blue ribbons and $10. The posters were required to show bats as pollinators.
They are Novalee Fullerton, Zoe Graham, Allegh Place, Hailey Larson, and Liam Friedt.
The Rosalia Garden Club sponsored children in the U.S. Forest Services and National Garden Club poster contest. Hadley Hudkins, first-grade, and Kinsey Hudkins, fifth-grade, advanced to the Pacific Region competition.
The group also sponsored children participating in the National Garden Club's recycled sculpture contest. Students create a sculpture from recycled materials, write a description, and it must fit on a standard piece of paper.
Five students received an award of excellence certificate: Gracie Ann Powell, fourth-grade, Andrew Evans, fifth-grade, Gwendelyn Olson, sixth-grade, Hanna Douglas, seventh-grade, and Brooklyn Newman, eighth-grade
