Essay Contest Winner Recognized at Annual Celebration Jacob Parrish said growing up in a farming community is the best life for him as he read his essay in front of a large crowd at the Statehood Day Ceremony at the Indiana Statehouse this afternoon. The fourth-grader from Van Rensselaer Elementary School in Rensselaer also said that although he has been to Indianapolis before, it was his first time in the Statehouse and that he hopes to one day see a Colts game at Lucas Oil Stadium. Thanks to a special surprise, he need not wait long to see his first Colts game. State Representative Douglas Gutwein (R-Rensselaer) rewarded Jacob with four tickets for the Colts December 18th matchup versus the Tennessee Titans. In addition to Rep. Gutwein, Jacob accepted his award and other prizes from Indiana State Auditor Tim Berry, State Senator Jim Merritt, and Indiana Supreme Court Justice Steven David for winning the 2011 "What Indiana Means to Me" essay contest. Three more students selected from over 2,200 entries were also recognized, including: 2nd Place: Dilhara Moonesinghe - Sycamore Elementary (Kokomo); 3rd Place: Xander Wilson - New Britton Elementary (Fishers); and Hon.; Mention: Nick Roberts - Sheridan Elementary School. The first-place winner received a $300 College Choice 529 Scholarship, second-place a $200 and third place $100 scholarship from the Indiana State Treasurer. Each finalists' school library will receive a set of the Young Patriot Series Indiana Collection, which is donated annually by Patria Press. |
