Christian sold 112 books at a grand total of $2,400, the most of any student in the Jefferson County School System. Half of the proceeds from the sale of the coupon books will go the the Shades Valley School library towards the purchase of new books and other resource materials that will benefit students from both Shades Valley and Jefferson County International Baccalaureate School. Christian is a freshman this year at Shades Valley and actually participated in the coupon book sales towards winning a Regions Scholarship last year as an 8th grader. He sold 51 books at that time and ranked 6th in the district for coupon books sales. After attending the awards celebration last year, Christian became really motivated and determined to win the top prize this year while helping his school at the same time. Christian hopes his win and recognition will motivate other students at his school not only because of the scholarship and other prizes, but that they to see it as an opportunity to help their school in a great way.
