Kindergartener Payden Smith and 2nd Grader Elyzabeth Anderson, students at Cook Primary School, were recipients of brand-new scooters compliments of the Adel-Cook Chamber’s Education Committee awarded at the last Bee Hive Bash of the school year. Payden is a student in Ms. Cyndee Cowart’s class and Elyzabeth is a student in Ms. Sabrina Lindsey’s class.

Every 8 weeks a deserving student is selected in a drawing at the school's Bee Hive Bash to receive the award. The scooters, a popular item with the students, are given by the Chamber’s Education Committee as a way to reinforce good behavior, good attendance, and good academics among the students. Close to 750 students are eligible for the prize at any given time and the winners shine as great examples of the fact that hard work always pays dividends.
