One generation helping another. Arena Cheyenne-Orosco, a sixth grader at Ellinwood Grade School, is the latest winner in Eagle Media's Make a Difference Contest, presented by OPI & Golden Belt Printing. Arena received $100 as a weekly winner in the contest.
"I can make a difference by going and helping my mom at the nursing home," Arena said.
All Barton County students, grades K-6, are eligible for the Make a Difference Contest, which will run for the duration of the 2025-26 school year. As a weekly winner, Arena and her teacher, Mr. Stint, are now eligible for the monthly prize. That lucky student will win another $100 and a book bag filled with goodies from other contest sponsors, and her teacher will also receive $100.
