Third-grade students from Oklahoma joined others across the nation in learning about gardening and receiving the chance to win a $1,000 savings bond.
Each year Bonnie Plants, based in Alabama, gives third-grade students the chance to learn about gardening by growing their own cabbage. At the end of the year, she randomly selects one student from each state to receive a savings bond for education.
The 2008 Oklahoma winner is Addee Carder, of Miami.
Students from Billings, Woodward, Mooreland, Pond Creek-Hunter, Alva, Medford and Timberlake entered the cabbage contest, along with many other schools across the state.
Each class chooses its best cabbage to enter in the drawing, and from those entries Plants draws the winner from each state.
