Around this time last year Isaac won a MAJOR award (not really) from the library from the winter reading program. He won a snow screamer sled with only TWO reading entries. Those are pretty good odds considering this year we put at least 25 in the pot and didn't win squat--or DID WE? Oh yes, we won something even better. This year, his win was even MORE MAJOR (for real) and comes from the Kentucky Department of Agriculture. I received the following email and attachment this afternoon:Dear Isaac Deaton:
Congratulations on being selected as the first place winner in the 2012 Ag Day Poster/Essay Contest representing 1st grade. Your entry was selected as the most outstanding among entries from across the Commonwealth.
As recognition of your fine accomplishment, you will receive a $100 check from the Kentucky Department of Agriculture. As further recognition, you, your parents and your teacher are invited to attend the 2012 Ag Day Luncheon to be held in Frankfort at 11:30am, Eastern Time on Wednesday, March 14. The location of the Ag Day Luncheon is the Kentucky History Center.
You will be recognized as a contest winner by Commissioner of Agriculture, James Comer, and receive a certificate acknowledging your award.
WHOA! First a sled and NOW $100. Isaac is well on his way to achieving major things in his life. I have no doubt in my mind he is going to do something AMAZING with his creative little brain.
We're so proud of our little 1st grader.
WAY TO GO! What a cool accomplishment!
