Meggy wins BIG!

We had the school reflections awards assembly today! Imagine my surprise when Meg was announced as a finalist in two categories. She will be going on to region in Visual Arts and Literature! I am so proud of her! She painted a beautiful picture with acrylic paint on canvas. It was purple snow-capped mountains with the sun setting. I will post pics when I get the pics from school. Here is a copy of the poem she wrote. I was so impressed with her creative use of words. The theme for the contest was Beauty Is.......

Beauty is…

Beauty is the snow-capped mountains

Beauty is the sea,

Beauty is the twinkle in the eye of you and me.

Beauty is a shiny bright star,

Beauty is the sky,

Beauty is the smell of a fresh baked apple pie.

Beauty is a scarlet rose,

Beauty is a tree,

Beauty is a baby bird tweeting quietly.

Beauty is a brand new dog,

Beauty is you and me,

Beauty is in each one of us,

Look around and see!

Madison and Mason did a great job too. Maddy pained a picture as well. It was of a starry night. Mason colored a picture of flowers and made a 3d flower out of clay. He was surprised when he was announced as the "People's Choice Award". He received the most votes during the open house.

Here is Madison's poem

Ballerina Beauty

Beauty is ballerinas, pretty as can be!

Beauty is the way they jump and leap so peacefully! Beauty is their hard point shoes,

Beauty is their clothes.

Beauty is their tutus and the way they always pose! Beauty is the way they dance on tippy toes so high. Beauty is the way lift they the girls to reach the sky!
Beauty is the way they twirl,

Beauty is their turns.

Beauty is their amazing talent,

I wonder how long it took to learn!
