Art Show, Young Author, and Awards!



The kids had their Art Show and Young Author celebration at school this last week.  Each student had one piece of art work in the show and then their Young Author books were on display in the Media Center.  

Riley received an outstanding award for her artwork.  Her apple was awarded the "Principal's Pick" for the third grade!  This means that her apple will now be framed and put on display in the hallways of HHES for many, many years!  How awesome is that????  Only one piece of art was chosen in each grade level, so that makes it even more exciting.  Way to go Riley!  We are so proud of you!

Payton's artwork was very nice, but his Young Author book stole the show.  When he is able to bring it home I will share some of what he wrote about.  It was about his family and it was absolutely amazing!  Payton really has such an awesome heart and it really shows in this book. I can't wait to share some of it with you all.  Great Job, Payton!  We are very proud of you!

** Edited to add Payton's book!!!  This is one of the best books you'll ever read!  Trust me!  :0)
