The Idaho Forest Products Commission announced
winners of the 18th annual Forest Products Week
Essay Contest, November 30, and a Boundary
County Middle School student was on the list.
For their outstanding writing efforts, five
first-place Idaho students will receive a
certificate and $100 savings bond for
themselves, plus $100 for their classrooms.
Winning essayists are Elle Bickford and Jadon
Buck of Eliza Hart Spalding Elementary School in
Boise (Meridian School District); Matteya
Proctor of Deary Elementary School; William
Strahan of Kamiah Middle School; and Jessica
Farris of Sandpoint High School.
Teachers of these young writers are,
respectively, Heidi Bond, Vernita Proctor,
Rebecca Crockett and John Hastings.
In the sixth through eight grade category, BCMS
student Victor "Ryne" Rae, a student in Kelly
Hinthorn's class, earned an honorable mention.
"In this year’s essays, students shared personal
connections to Idaho’s forests, and grappled
with the need to be informed about natural
resources, economics and sustainable management
in order to make wise consumer choices,” said
IFPC’s Education Coordinator, Michelle
Youngquist.
As one second grade writer observed, “I think it
is very important that people take care of our
forests so that we continue having these
important products in our daily lives.”
This year’s winning essays will soon be posted
at

The Idaho Forest Products Commission provides
information and education programs about Idaho’s
forests and the forest products sector. |
