Jeffrey Stubblefield and Governor Bill Lee
Belvoir Christian Academy third grader, Jeffrey Stubblefield, was honored as the statewide winner of the Elementary School division for the Tri-Star Reads/Tennesseans for Student Success annual competition.
Jeffrey read over 30,000 minutes over the summer. This is the second consecutive year for Jeffrey to receive this honor for his reading efforts.
To recognize his accomplishments, Jeffrey was invited to Nashville to join other divisional winners to meet Governor Bill Lee.
Governor Lee awarded Jeffrey the ceremonial Tri-Star 529 College Fund Scholarship for $1,000.
Additionally, Rep. Esther Helton read the House of Representatives Proclamation of Tribute to Jeffrey, and presented him with a State of Tennessee flag that was flown over the State Capitol building in his honor.
Jeffrey has also been selected to join the Davidson Institute Young Scholars program for the profoundly gifted, an organization that provides extracurricular activities for students with gifted academic abilities.
