Attached are photos from the awarding of the prize money at the Cullman County School Board Meeting held Thursday, October 16, 2008 at Hanceville Elementary School Library. I have labeled each photo, and inserted the ‘not pictured’ notes, for those winning students who were not able to attend the meeting. We would appreciate, very much, if you would run these photos! We are PROUD of these students!
The Winning Poster (only) from each Division, from each school system then goes to the State Department of Education to compete at the State level. Out of the five Divisions, 3 of the 5 Posters WINNING the State Competition, this year, are from Cullman County Schools!
