Miranda Ellis could not be happier with two of her 5th grade Language Arts students. Caroline Hardwick and Madison Billingsley both entered the AARP Grandparent of the Year Essay Contest sponsored through the Adair Co. Retired Teachers Association.

Bobbie Coomer is President and Teresa Roy coordinated the contest for Adair County.

Caroline Hardwick won the contest with her essay about her grandmother Peggy Ellis.

The 1st runner up was Madison Billingsley, the daughter of Jon and Emily Billingsley, and the granddaughter of Beverly Jones,

Caroline is very excited that her essay will be going on to be judged for regional and possibly to the state competition. She will find out in April. On a personal note: I am so proud of Caroline. She is my baby cousin and we are beaming with pride over her accomplishment. Her parents are Jennifer and Tim Hardwick.
