to be helpful, caring,
and constructive-
To make everything
you touch a little bit better.
The best thing you
have to give is
yourself."

Third grader Rosheka Beckford of Conner Street Elementary School has a wonderful start to her college fund. Rosheka won a $5,000 SMART529 WV Direct College Savings Plan for her essay, “When I grow up, I’m going to be….”
The contest is open to West Virginia students in kindergarten through fifth grade. Winners are chosen from three grade level categories in five regions of the state.
The West Virginia State Treasurer’s Office and The Hartford Group awarded 14 $500 prizes to other elementary contest winners, and to each of their schools. Entries were judged on creativity, originality, and the importance of post-secondary education.
Third grade teacher Pat Dawson says, “Rosheka is a talented writer and we are so proud of her. We are also glad to see Rosheka beginning to think about attending college and setting high goals for herself to achieve.”
The essay, written with the encouragement of Rosheka’s grandmother, told in 100 words or less the career she had chosen.
