Hurray for Katie

We just got back from the Reflections Regional Open House where we learned that Katie won Regional Honorable Mention for her poem about Alaska. She was competing against K-2nd grade students from several different elementary schools.

Katie is taking the whole thing in stride. She was mostly thrilled to get a certificate, pencil and candy bar. I don't think she realizes what an accomplishment this is. I took a picture of her standing by her poem on the "Winner's Board" with my phone. Maybe I'll be able to upload it later. (I would have brought my camera if I would have known she was getting an award.)

We are so excited for her!
