October was National “Adopt-A-Shelter Pet” month.  Felicia Watkins, the art teacher at Putnam County Primary School, had the students draw a picture of their family or themselves playing with a pet.  The Oconee Regional Humane Society wanted to award a winner and a runner-up from each grade level.  All of the students put in extra effort to make their picture special.

The kindergarten class winner was Dayton Nelson and the runner-up was Tytianna Little.  Aniyah Brown was the winner in first grade and KyAshia Youngblood was runner-up.  And in the second grade, Waylon Wooten came in first and runner-up was Alexander Durance.  Congratulations to all the winners and to all the participants.

The winners received free ice cream and a ribbon.  Their artwork will be framed and hung in the new Oconee Regional Humane Society Center.
