529 Winner
Eliana Pentino is a 2nd grader at Steenrod Elementary School. 

She is also a winner of this year’s Smart529 essay contest! 

Eliana wrote a hilarious essay about wanting becoming a vet in the style of Junie B. Jones.

She states, “Pets make the best patients!” before deciding a career choice as a dentist is the way to go! 

Eliana not only receives $500 deposited into a  529 account , but Steenrod also receives $500! The second grade class has a lot of great ideas regarding how to use the funding! 

Eliana is now eligible for an additional $4500 drawing. 

Congratulations, Eliana! 

Thank you WV State Treasurer’s Office and SMART 529!
