Two years ago, S won an award for Arbor Day! This year, it was C's turn! The entire county is invited to have all third graders participate. I'm not sure how many other schools do, but I know of several! MVE required each kid to enter as a major science grade. There are categories for posters, poems and songs. C entered a poster and won third place! He was one of eight from MVE and the only boy! We were all so proud!!
This afternoon was the reception for all the winners. C wasn't quite sure if he wanted to go, but he knew from experience that all who go will get a tree to take home and plant. That was enough to make him want to go:) The two of us went and although he was not a big fan of the "talking part" and that we got rained on some, he sure did enjoy showing off his poster, eating cookies and brownies and then, of course, getting his tree!
I enjoyed spending time celebrating him in the arts because he is musically and artistically talented, but being a boy, he doesn't really like to be noticed for those things!:)

looked like and pointed him out - I was impressed! |
