Kouadio Kondo, 11, a student at Otter Creek Elementary, is the state winner in the "Doodle 4 Google" competition. The fifth-grader's art teacher urged him to enter the drawing contest, and his entry was selected from among 114,000 entries nationwide to be the winner for the state of Arkansas in his grade group.
At a special school event, Google representatives visited Otter Creek to Elementary to announce Kouadio as the state's winner and presented him with a custom t-shirt featuring his Google Doodle artwork. He was also given an all expense-paid trip to New York City May 16th - 18th, where he will learn the results of national voting on the different logos submitted.
Kouadio needs your help to win this contest. Click on the link below to post your vote for his Google entry.

Keeling Baker, a 4th grader at Pulaski Heights Elementary, placed 6th place out of one hundred 4th through 8th graders in the state Geography Bee competition.
"Our school geography bee got many of our students very involved in honing their map and geographical skills. To see one of our students go so far in the state competition was inspirational to many in our student body."
