Savannah Won A Rotary Club Contest



We are so proud of Savannah! As an English assignment, she had to submit an original motto and essay for the community of Seymour to the local Rotary Club. From all the schools participating in Seymour, her motto was selected to represent Seymour! Her motto, "Gorgeous Views, Great People" will be on the welcome sign as you come into town from Knoxville. Her motto will be on the sign for thousands of people to see! One day she will be able to show her children and grandchildren the sign. Her English teacher sent her a very special letter to congratulate her! She told her how honored she is to teach her and that now she will be able to say that she taught the student who created the motto on the sign! What an honor!!!! She was also thrilled because she won $50! Here are a couple pix from this morning's Rotary Club meeting and motto winner announcment.

Savannah, I am SO proud of you! That is so cool! I can't wait to see that sign. How are you going to spend the money?

Savannah, we are so proud of you! I know that the people of Seymour and everyone traveling by who read your motto will agree with it. Seems like it has been longer than a month since we have seen you. "Have a very Happy Birthday - TEENAGER"! Wish we could help you celebrate, we will be in our hearts! Love, Grandma and Papaw
