Seven students from middle schools in East Cobb are among those whose works have been included in the Cobb County Water System and the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority’s 2026 waterArt calendar
Nearly 200 students submitted “original artwork judged on creativity, relevance, and artistic ability” for consideration for the calendar, which features themes relating to nature and water conservation.
Penelope Schroeder from Mabry Middle School was the cover art winner (her work is seen above) in the Cobb waterSmart waterArt calendar contest.
The other students from East Cobb whose works are featured in the calendar include Grace Valdivia and Raya Owings of Dickerson Middle School (the latter’s work is seen below); Olivia D’Anna of Mabry Middle School; Esme Etkin and Riley Pearson of East Cobb Middle School; and Angel So of Simpson Middle School.
