Ernest Ward FFA Presents ‘Golden Cow Dung Award’ To Assistant Principal

February 24, 2024

Ernest Ward Middle School Assistant Principal Dawn Inman received the annual “Golden Cow Dung Award” from members of the Ernest Ward FFA recently. The award features a large piece of cow dung, painted a golden color and mounted on a board painted in school colors.

Inman received the award during National FFA Week as a “thank you” for supporting FFA.

(Cow dung, in case you didn’t know for sure, is what you are probably thinking it is. It’s that natural byproduct that cows drop in the field. The award is 100% real dung spray painted a golden color. The golden dung piece is actually the original award piece created and painted in 2009 with an occasional paint touch up.)

Nancy Gindl-Perry was the first “Golden Cow Dung Award” recipient in 2009.

Other recipients have included:

  • Kathy Ellis – 2010
  • Lindsey Kelley – 2011
  • Kenneth Hicks – 2012
  • Betty Coon – 2013
  • Barbara Ryals – 2014
  • Laura Chavers – 2016
  • Virkeisha Palmer – 2017
  • Sherri Stallworth – 2018
  • Phyllis Malone – 2019
  • Tyvanna Boulanger – 2021
  • Robin McCall – 2022
