Each year the school has a creative arts contest and this was Emily's first year to enter. The theme was Live well, Eat well, Play Well. She worked really hard and was very creative in her tasks. She competed against the 2nd and 3rd graders. She won a prize in 3 of the 4 categories she entered. She won 2nd place for her sunset painting, 2nd place for her story called The Flying Duck, and 3rd place for a song she composed on the piano called "Playing Outside". She also won a total of $22. I think she may enter all the categories next year. We were very proud of her, and she was very excited.
