For seemingly the first time, the entire Potter-Dix elementary was quiet as the children waited in the gym with hardly a whisper for the special broadcast to recognize them as the winner of the Small Towns Matter contest to start. The Small Towns Matter contest is a campaign dreamt up by NCN and United Healthcare to show school districts in small towns that they are cared for and appreciated. Even Potter-Dix elementary students Trenton Hickman and Veronica Loghry spoke at the podium. Everyone talked about why small towns matter and what makes the Potter-Dix community so great. “Hi, sweetie.”Skaja is a good example of what makes small towns great.
