Fifth grader’s safety calendar artwork wins state honor
Fifth grader Trenton Baughman from Byrd Elementary drew a Christmas tree scene showing two fearful children after a small fire from an overloaded outlet. Judges chose his piece as one of 13 for the state calendar from more than 21,000 entries. He traveled to Columbia for a Safe Kids South Carolina luncheon where Governor Sanford unveiled the calendar. Trenton received a $100 Wal Mart gift card, a Safe Kids Star Kids trophy, and a framed certificate signed by Gov. Mark Sanford. Byrd Elementary earned a display plaque.
