Follow on Google News | National Pawn Essay Contest Winners AnnouncedPrizes valued at $3,500 given to each winning elementary school student…
By: Sean Graham "I believe in actively encouraging education and supporting schools as a rule, and I feel that it is especially important during these times of declining tax revenues and shrinking budgets," said Moulton. "It was my intent to motivate the students to creatively express their feelings for their mothers or other strong female role models, as well as reward the teachers and the individual schools where the winners attend." Mrs. Jennifer Behringer, Neo’s teacher said, “He is thoughtful and kind to all of his peers. We are very excited for Neo and his mother.” Neo has a brother and a sister at Duke University, and he loves to play Star Wars and baseball. Brian Krauss, Horacio’s teacher, said, “I have never had a student that has been as dedicated to his academics as Horacio…he plays an even bigger role in his family…his mother was diagnosed with cancer…and continues to receive treatment. Horacio has majorly stepped up to the plate, assisting with the care of his mother and two younger brothers. He did all this while maintaining a perfect ‘A’ average in school…I can honestly envision Horacio becoming a future president of our country…He is that kind of kid!!!” The contest was open to all K-5 students in the three major Triangle school districts: Durham, Orange and Wake. The judges for the contest were Frances Scott, news anchor at ABC11; Rick Armstrong, Health and Science Producer at WRAL News; Barbara Petty, editor of BOOM! and Greg Petty, publisher of BOOM!, along with local writers Alice Osborn, Jan B. Parker and Kathleen Fitzgerald. About National Pawn National Pawn (www.pawndeals.com) At National Pawn customers are offered courteous and confidential instant cash loans on their items of value.
