Inspirations

I'm a proud mama. In January my girls entered their school's "Inspirations" contest, a celebration of the arts. Meagan (3rd grade) entered the Photography category with a collage of photos she took of Ellie. And Lindsay (2nd grade) wrote a poem, "Pickles", and entered the Literature category. Last week they both came home with a letter saying they'd recieved 2nd place in each of their categories! I was so proud of them! They held an assembly yesterday to honor the top 3 winners of each category in each grade. They both looked so cute up on the stage and were so happy when they recieved their medal.

Meagan after she'd received her medal and certificate. They didn't have the kids stay up there long enough for me to get close enough for a picture of her receiving it.

I was so impressed with Meagan's finished piece. Besides a few pointers from me on the layout, she did all the cutting, adhesive, matting, and placing by herself!

Lindsay receiving her certificate and medal. The medals have their names, grade, and category engraved on the back. Fancy shmancy!

PICKLES

Some pickles are sweet

Some pickles are sour

But I like them the same

As sniffing a flower.

Good work girls, we're so proud of you!
