Haaland's winning program idea is the "Golden Panther Publishing Company." In the program, students from every grade level publish and promote works including poetry, short stories, book reports, research projects, media reviews, song lyrics, comics, sketches and other art work. Students join together in "The Den" to present and print their own works. The incentive to have their work published, printed and displayed gives students the motivation to do their best and use creativity. The project also involves parents and other members in the community. The theme for the project, "Join the Pride" will be used in other projects stemming from this one. Haaland lives in Ashford.
