Since most European nations try to create a "feel" for their country on the stamps, students were asked to create a clever stamp that would represent the State of Kentucky.

The sixth graders at Adair County Middle School have been learning about Western Europe and how a lot of the smaller countries get a large portion of their revenue from Postal Stamps.



So, Mr. Glen Ashbrook decided to run with the idea and created a contest for the best stamp design. Since most European nations try to create a "feel" for their country on the stamps, students were asked to create a clever stamp that would represent the State of Kentucky.

To make it even more exciting the students competed for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each class for both boys and girls. Then there was an overall Boy and Girl winner from all the entries.

First period boy winners included Ty Cheatham 1st, Walter Baker 2nd, Devon Karnes 3rd while the girls were Elizabeth Bair 1st, Emma Grider 2nd, Caylee Hardin 3rd.

Second period boy winners were Noah Abrell 1st, Dominic Sanford 2nd, Jacoby Abrell 3rd while the girls were Madelyn Harmon 1st, Mackenzie Coomer 2nd, Hannah Brown 3rd. Third period boy winners were David Adams 1st, Jacob Morrison 2nd, Riley Rogers 3rd while the girls were Dana Greer 1st, Natalie Curry 2nd, Shelby Jones 3rd. Fourth Period boy winners Michael Hancock 1st, Jakobe Payne 2nd, Gavin Bloyd 3rd while the girls were Lauren Grant 1st, Kaylee Robinson 2nd, Macy Brown 3rd.

The overall boy winner was Jonathan Wood and the overall girl winner was Jeanene Pike. All winners are shown in the accompanying photo except for Jonathan Wood and Walter Baker. - Shamarie Claiborne
