Ms. Brenda Lee’s class at the Helen Keller School of Alabama entered the Bonnie Farm Cabbage Program contest. HKS student Amiya Hill, with the assistance of her teacher’s father, Mr. William E. Simmons, grew the largest cabbage which weighed in at 17 pounds and 3 feet wide! Amiya’s name will be entered in a random state wide drawing for a $1,000 scholarship towards education and statewide recognition. Way to go, Amiya!
