Cooper's school and the State of Vermont participated in a "Learning is an Investment" project. Essentially the kids read books about finance and money and then their names were entered into a drawing. There were about 4000 kids in the drawing and Cooper was one of 10 that won a $250 savings account for college. Not very much money in the big scheme of things, but Josh and I were elated that Cooper may actually be luckier than his parents (who never win ANYTHING)! The best part was a trip to the State House in Montpelier where there was a little ceremony for the kids and then they did a tour after. Unfortunately for me, I couldn't make it, but Josh, Gumma and Gogo were able to be there for the festivities. The person handing out the awards said "nice hand shake!" after Cooper received his award. He made his parents and grand-parents very proud (we had been practicing for 2 days)!
