Along with the other regional winners, DeChaumes Elementary showcased its class project, which included a paper mache globe featuring winning solutions for global warming, a student journal, and letter to Mayor Bill White, to compete for recognition as the District winner. The district winner, MacGregor Elementary, received a check for $10,000.
