Posted Date: 05/24/2021

The Kiwanis Club of Paris selected five 3rd grade classes at Aikin Elementary School to participate in a pilot program.  The Heroes coloring book contest was developed by the Texas/Oklahoma District of Kiwanis and funded by Kiwanis Children's Fund grant. The program was designed to give 3rd-grade students an introduction to the Kiwanis Family and allow each student the opportunity to think about their community.  Each child was asked to draw a picture of their favorite hero to enter into the contest.  The winner from each of the five 3rd grade classes received a gift card and certificate.  The following students were the winners from each class.

Brinlee Moore – Ms. Moore’s Class

Claire Teague – Ms. Spencer’s Class

Gerald Shelton-Dillworth – Ms. Echeverria’s Class

Jaxyn Wall – Ms. Vandeaver’s Class

Zane Brown – Ms. Helm’s Class

Each of these winners was then judged at the divisional level.  Jaxyn Wall won 1st place at the divisional level and received a bicycle and helmet.  Brinlee Moore won 2nd place, and Zane Brown won 3rd place.  Each of these winners was awarded art kits.
