Sebastian 3rd Grader in Google Finals

A local third-grader at Sebastian Elementary has drawn her way into the ‘Doodle4Google’ finals. The contest, entitled, “What if…”, encouraged students around the United States, grades K-12, to draw a picture and write a short story based around the theme. Thousands of entries were submitted, and only 40 finalists were selected.

Cierra Purvis, 9, from Sebastian Elementary, was one of the lucky finalists. If she wins, she will get $10,000 towards a college scholarship and $25,000 for a technology grant for Sebastian Elementary.

This is such a great honor for Cierra, so let’s get the word out and help her win! You can log onto:

You have until Sunday, May 18th to vote and Cierra’s entry is located in the Region 4 section.

Now, I’d say Sebastian has some talent!

GO CIERRA!!

Great breakfast place!

Every Sunday as I take a spin down US-1 in Sebastian I pass this tiny little breakfast place. The outside of the joint usually showcases flocks of people waiting outside for a table. I finally decided to pull over and see what all of the fuss was about.

‘Country Ham and Eggs’ definitely proved a reason to get hyped up. The 45 minute wait was well worth it. The diner-esque type place serves all of the basic favorites. Sebastian needed a simple little breakfast nook as this one. And, yum! The home-style offerings are delicious. With a variety of omelets, eggs, pancakes and waffles to choose from, there is something for everyone. A lunch menu is also offered. Located right between the 512 east and west bound roads off of US-1 in Sebastian, Country Ham and Eggs will not let you down. It is a true treasure!
