Students at Thomas O’Roarke Elementary School in northwest Las Vegas had the opportunity to join in the celebration to honor two of its students during morning assembly on November 7. Fifth graders Jacey Canfield and Zachary Lyday, both ten years old, were recognized for submitting winning names in the Don’t Trash Nevada Name the Mascot Contest.

Jacey received the grand prize of a Dell Inspiron laptop for her creativity and originality in submitting the winning entry. She named the bighorn sheep Hector, which stands for Help Every Child Treasure Our Resources. As one of the first prize winners, Zachary was awarded an Apple iPod Nano. Additionally, Principal Fredris Breen and Assistant Principal Brenda Swann received Don’t Trash Nevada t-shirts for their school winning two of the five prizes awarded in the contest.
