GRAND ISLAND —
Grand
Island students Robbie Van Heufeln and Brooke McCallum now officially
outrank their parents, their teachers and their principals.
The duo became admirals in the Nebraska Navy Tuesday afternoon when
Gov. Dave Heineman bestowed them with the honor for having their
artwork selected as part of a national competition for the 2009 Cyber
Security Calendar.
"It is always great news to see our young people recognized at the
national level," Heineman said. "Through this calendar, these talented
students are getting the message out to their peers across the nation
about the importance of being safe online."
A third Nebraska student, Hailey Paxton of Stuart, also had her artwork selected to be in the calendar.
Van Heufeln's entry shows a boy typing on a computer, with a large
calendar behind him. The words "Stay up to date with Internet safety"
are written across the top of the poster. Though now a Grand Island
Central Catholic student, Van Heufeln was a Knickrehm Elementary School
student when he created the poster.
