2011 Mayor for a Day

Keegan Courtney, a second-grade student at Colleyville Elementary School, has submitted the winning essay for the city’s 2011 Mayor for a Day contest. This is the second consecutive year an essay submitted by a Colleyville Elementary School student has been selected as the winning entry. In choosing Keegan’s essay, which focused on increasing water conservation through public education, contest judges noted his public focus on a critical and timely issue. They also took note that his ideas were altruistic, well researched, and showed a genuine interest in the subject matter. Colleyville Mayor David Kelly has proclaimed Tuesday, Nov. 1, 2011, as Colleyville Elementary School day in honor of their fine students. Mayor Kelly, accompanied by two city firefighters, made a personal visit to Keegan’s school to announce his selection. Keegan is the youngest winner to date in the annual contest. When not plotting a future political career, the 8-year-old enjoys playing tackle football, video games, and hanging out with friends. He is the son of Dori Freeman and James Courtney. His day in the role of “mayor” includes tours of the Colleyville Justice Center and Central Fire Station, city public works facilities, and tours of city park facilities. He will take an honorary oath of office and co-preside with the mayor during the Colleyville City Council meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 1. Mayor David Kelly has championed the Mayor for a Day contest to allow young people the opportunity to experience city government and to foster a sense of community interest and involvement. The city of Colleyville has conducted the Mayor for a Day contest for the past seven years.
