Dillon's grocery store, part of the Kroger Corporation, offers 3 scholarship opportunities a year at the kid's school, one each trimester, one participant for each grade for a chance to win a $300 college scholarship. Rachel has participated in 3 and finally won "My favorite natural or man-made wonder" with her entry "Sutter's Mill".
Keep in mind, parents/families are encouraged to help but children are asked to put in as much effort as they can. And while it's not an exact replica of that place in Coloma, Ca. we are so fond of, it's our rendition of what would fit in the space of the poster board, not that there was a size limit, but with all of the things that could be added, we didn't want to get carried away!
It was really more of a community effort. One of the teacher's at the high school cut out the water wheel with a lazsr and glued all the tiny pieces together by hand. Jeremiah and his students used the CNC machine to cut out the saw blade and we assembled it all at home making good use of popsicle sticks!
