‘Golden Cow Dung Award’ Presented To EWMS Assistant Principal
February 24, 2017
Ernest Ward Middle School Assistant Principal Virkeisha Palmer received the eighth annual “Golden Cow Dung Award” from members of the Ernest Ward FFA. The award presented Thursday afternoon featured a large piece of cow dung, painted a golden color and mounted on a board painted in school colors.
(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. The golden piece presented Thursday is actually the first award piece created and painted eight years ago.)
Palmer 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 teacher Laura Chavers. Previous awards were presented to Barbara Ryals, Betty Coon, history teacher Kenneth Hicks, teacher’s assistant Lindsey Kelley, Family & Consumer Science teacher Kathy Ellis and Principal Nancy Perry.
More than half a million members around the nation participated in National FFA Week activities at the local and state levels this week.

Dried cow dung is very light and doesn’t have a noticeable smell. It’s the same thing sold as cow manure people buy all the time for their vegetable plants and flowers. Only difference is the stir bought variety has been heat treated to kill the seeds and adhere to governmental regulations.
I would not want anyone giving me cow poop as an award. Yuk!!!!!!!! Maybe a scarecrow made out of straw would be more appropriate.
FFA fun!
Welcome to the FFA loving group of GOLDEN COW DUNG recipients!

Thank you Ms. Wilson and the FFA! I was surprised and very honored!
