The crayfish, crawdad or crawdaddy – a fresh water miniature version of the lobster. That may soon be our state invertebrate. Cody’s class was learning about how bills getting passed in state. And they proposed a bill to make the crayfish a state symbol. Our district’s state rep Dennis Wood chaired the proposal and put in on the Tourism Committee’s task. A couple of weeks ago, Cody’s class got to go to the state capital & give a presentation about why the crayfish should become a state symbol to the Tourism Committee. Cody was one of the speakers. It did pass in committee. Now it goes to the State House & then State Senate. I went with him and he did a great job, of course. They had a video feed from our state capital to the school. So the whole school got to watch. Cody was on the news & in the paper too. He was a very popular kid. It was a very cool experience for him & his classmates.

Cody is a good boy! It takes courage to do that kind of thing and it shows his character! He also has a good and loving Mom who wants her son to have the BEST that life can offer!
That's really neat that he got to do that. But I would like to see in list form though why the crayfish?
I will have Cody write it & then post it for you!!! I think that would be fun for him anyway.
Excellent, love it! » »
