MA Student Selected as
One of 10 McDonald's Champion Kids
A deserving
Madison Academy student was surprised by Ronald
McDonald Wednesday to learn she was selected as one of ten
U.S. McDonald's Champion Kids. It was announced that Erin
Young (HFC 98 White)
won a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the Vancouver 2010 Olympic
Winter Games to represent
Huntsville as a
hometown correspondent.
The MCK contest
was open to kids across the U.S.
between the ages of 11-14 from September 30 through October
30, 2009. Erin entered the contest by submitting a personal
essay and photo explaining why she should represent
Huntsville
and what the Olympic Values of friendship, excellence and
respect means to her. Her entry, which beat out hundreds of
contest entries from other kids from across the U.S.,
included the statement, "as you reach what some would call
perfection you feel there is still room for more and that is
when you reach excellence."
As an MCK, Erin
will have the opportunity to attend Olympic Winter Games
sporting events, meet athletes and other Champion Kids from
around the world, explore
Vancouver
with unique winter sporting and cultural activities, and
report her personal experiences back to her hometown.
Congratulations Erin!

Because they always dribble!
