Alphabetix is a proud sponsor of the 2009 Try Local First Back to School Essay Contest.

As a sponsor of the essay contest, we donated a Columbia sports backpack full of school supplies such as pens, markers, pencils, paper and other must haves for the first day back to school. The backpack and the supplies were to be given to the essay contest winner for grades 1-6.

We want to congratulate Bree Boertien, who was chosen as the winner for grades 1 through 6. We hope she finds a million uses for the backpack and the school supplies found within.

We want to also congratulate Hallie Exall who was choses as the winner for grades 7 through 12.

Learn more about the contest and read Bree’s winning essay and read Hallie’s winning essay at the Try Local First.org.
