Way to go, Mason!

A few months ago, Mason entered an essay contest for 4th graders for the state of Utah. Turns out he won 3rd place! He wrote on the topic "Why I like my Community."  He was honored at the school assembly this morning and was given his certificate by the mayor of Provo, John Curtis. He also earned $50 in prize money. On top of that, his school received $500. Amazing! This contest is put on by the Utah League of Cities and Towns. They came down to the assembly and had a video camera to catch Mason's reaction to winning and filmed the recognition. Now they want to film Mason around the places in Provo he talked about in his essay and have him read some of it. They make a video and show it at their convention in September to mayors and city leaders across Utah. It's so crazy! Good job, Mason!!
