FRANKFORT — Kelsey Rena Rhoton of Monroe County was awarded the 2009 Graduate Kentucky Art Award – 2nd Place, Division III, by Kentucky First Lady Jane Beshear on Saturday and Luther Deaton Jr., chairman, president and CEO of Central Bank, Sept. 12, during the 2009 Graduate Kentucky: A Community Approach Summit.

The Graduate Kentucky Art and Essay Contest, sponsored by the Kentucky Out-of-School Alliance, was part of the inaugural dropout prevention summit hosted by the First Lady. Students across the Commonwealth were encouraged to share their voices as to the importance of graduation and the impact of the dropout issue.

More than 100 students participated in the contest, contributing to a comprehensive statewide conversation to understand why students contemplate dropping out of school and to share ideas and best practices of how communities can play a pivotal role in reducing the dropout rate and creating a strategic vision for keeping children engaged in school.
