My step mom the is the best mom anybody could have.” My Mom’s the Greatest Students spread the news on the qualities that make the perfect mom I n recognition of Mother’s Day, The Emery County Review sponsored a contest for all Emery County elementary schools. Children in first through sixth grades were asked to write an essay to the theme “Spread the News, My Mom is the Greatest!” During a busy week of core testing, teachers in county elementary schools allowed their students time to work on their essays. More than 750 essays were returned and the newspaper staff poured over the essays, eventually picking a winner from each school. Each winner received a dozen roses to give to their mom, and the student and their mother were presented a certificate and the roses during school last week. The staff of The Emery County Review appreciates the willingness of the the faculty of the schools to let their students take part in the essay contest. All of the essays were incredible and if editorial space allowed, we would love to publish each essay. Winning essays are printed above and below, without editing. Congratulations to the winners and to all of the students of Emery County. According to your essays, it seems we are all blessed with the “greatest mom.” Cottonwood Elementary Cody Brinn Beckstead 2nd Grade Mother: Shannon Beckstead Bookcliff Elementary Dakota Wetherington 5th Grade Grandmother: JoAnn Wetherington Castle Dale Elementary Shawn McCarty 4th Grade Mother: Crystal Nay “My mom is the best, scratch that, the GREATEST EVER! She loves me and I love her. I respect her and she repects me. I love her so much that I would be eaten by a lion. That is how much I love her. She would be proud of me doing what I do right. I like my mom, scratch that, love her!” “My grandma is the greatest because she loves me. She takes care of me she will do anything for anybody. She has a hard life but she will still show up anywhere with a helping hand and a smile on her face. She supports me. She also worked three jobs her whole life to support her family and she also cares for everybody and that is why my grandma JoAnn Wetherington is the greatest.” “My Mom is the beast to me. “When she gets up she gets dressed up. When she’s finished she lets us sleep in for two minutes. Then she gets up by singing. She has one job. She has to take care of old people. She has five children and I’m one of them. We love her and she loves us. We live in a white, small, three bedroom apartment. That’s what makes my mom so sad. That’s why I try to make her happy. I love her.” |
