    Two environmental teams from the Gibson County Arrow True 4-H Club earned the privilege to compete at the Indiana State Envirothon in April at Purdue.

    The Arrow True yellow team, consisting of Jason Rahman, son of Randy and Julia Rahman, Hazleton; Josie Loehr, daughter of Jim and Julie Loehr, Fort Branch; Devin and Tameara O’Dell, children of Kevin and Tammy O’Dell, Princeton, and Daniel Atkinson, son of Mike and Peggy Atkinson, Oakland City, won first place in the written test and third place in the oral presentation at the State Envirothon.  Combined with their hands on scores, the team won First Place Overall giving them the Indiana State Envirothon title.  This team will represent Indiana at the North American Canon Envirothon competition in Fresno, California in August.    

    There were 18 teams from throughout Indiana competing at the state competition. Envirothon committee members Ann Ice, Gibson County SWCD and Jeri Ziliak, Posey County SWCD assisted with the contest.

    The Envirothon is to build awareness in high school-aged students by testing their knowledge of environmental resources including soils, water, forestry, wildlife, and a current topic. The Indiana Academic Standards are taken into consideration in the structure of Indiana’s Envirothon Competition and are covered in part or fully at each contest, which is a learning event.
