Local rising kindergartener, Phin, has advanced to the Top 5 in his group in the national Jr. Ranger Contest, a competition that celebrates children who are passionate about nature, wildlife, and exploration. After making it through earlier rounds with strong community support, Phin is now in 4th place and working toward the top spot needed to move on to the quarterfinals.
The contest encourages kids to engage with the outdoors and highlights their curiosity and love for learning about the natural world. For Phin and his family, this experience has been both exciting and meaningful, made even more special by the encouragement from friends, neighbors, and the broader community.
As this round continues, daily voting plays an important role in determining who advances. Community members who wish to support Phin can cast a vote once every 24 hours through his contest page.
Phin’s family is grateful for the continued support and is hopeful that with the community’s help, he can advance to the next stage of the competition.
