Four Morningside Inventors moved on to compete at the state contest held at the Discovery Center of Idaho. These finalists included: ConnerGough, Ethan Hass, Kathryn Clark and Jade Winterholler. All finalists earned awards and prizes. Kathryn Clark from Mrs. Hawkin's third gradeclass placed in the top three at the state level with her eco-friendly invention entitled "The No Waste Paper Saver". Jade Winterholler from Mrs. Rush's fourth grade class earned the prestigious award of Best of Show with her game, "The Odd Ball". It's important to know that her invention was awarded first place above all others in her category for grades 1-8. The Times News featured Jade and her invention on Tuesday, March 11th in an article entitled "A Winning Invention". Students at Morningside are already gearing up with great problem solving ideas for next year's invention contest.

She was recognized for her efforts during the past few years to improve safety for students specifically around Lincoln elementary, but creating awareness for all area school zones. She has been involved as a parent volunteer, an official school crossing guard, and as a parent/community volunteer on the Twin Falls Traffic Safety Commission (and for the past few months as an official member of the commission).

Great job Rebecca Duke!
