Griffin Daybreak Presents Paul Ragan Mighty Acorn Awards

The Griffin Daybreak Rotary Club proudly presented the Paul Ragan Mighty Acorn Award to 11 fifth grade recipients in Spalding County in May. The award is made in loving memory of our past member Paul Ragan and his selfless service to others.

Daybreak works with the Griffin-Spalding County School System to present the Paul Ragan Mighty Acorn Award to one student in each elementary school within our community. The school helps identify the student who strives to succeed in school, their neighborhood and community through hard work and determination. The recipient of the Paul Ragan Mighty Acorn Award is regarded as strong and persevering in his or her efforts to grow and succeed to become a role model for peers.

Club members were able to attend honors programs, present the award and declare, “Our mighty acorn is only a seedling today, but like an acorn that grows into a mighty oak tree through continued character building, selfless service to others, academics and spreading of good will. It is our hope the recipient of this award will someday give back to our community in a way that builds character, and self-esteem in others.”

Recipients received a medallion, certificate along with an acorn seed with planting instructions and a gift certificate from Chick-fil-A of Griffin for an entree.
