Several weeks ago S brought home a flyer about an Arbor Day contest. I honestly did not think anything about it, but a few days later she was asking about it again! She was determined to enter this contest so I got her a poster board and supplied the glue gun, but she did the rest completely by herself. She completed the project and proudly submitted her entry! Then, out of the blue, we got an invitation home that she'd won 3rd place in the county for her poster! What!?!?! She was super excited and could hardly wait for the celebration!
After school today, we went to the Kilgore Lewis House(this place was beautiful and the weather was beautiful!!!!!) to honor our little Arbor Day artist! The Greenville City Council treated these kids so well, with a ceremony, presentation of awards, their very own black cherry tree(apparently this is the state tree... did not know this!) and a reception with a full spread!
