‘Golden Cow Dung Award’ Presented To Ernest Ward Teacher’s Assistant

February 24, 2011

Ernest Ward Middle School teacher’s assistant Lindsey Kelley received the third annual “Golden Cow Dung Award” from members of the Ernest Ward FFA. The award presented Wednesday afternoon featured a large piece of cow dung, painted a golden color.

(Cow dung, in case you did not know, is what you are probably thinking it is. It’s that natural byproduct that cows drop in the field. The award is 100 percent real dung spray painted a golden color.)

Kelley received the award from the school’s FFA members as a “thank you” for supporting FFA. The same Golden Cow Dung Award was presented last year to Family & Consumer Science teacher Kathy Ellis and two years ago to Principal Nancy Perry.

More than half a million members around the nation are participating  in National FFA Week activities at the local and state levels this week.
