Since Lia advanced to the district level of the Reflections contest in November, we were invited to attend a ceremony in the Pioneer Park Pavillion tonight. We got dressed up and headed down without Ron since he had a work obligation, but were excited to learn on the drive there that he was able to get out early and could meet us there. We were able to go on a "gallery walk" around the building admiring all of the paintings, photographs, and stories before sitting down for the program portion of the evening. One at a time, the different schools presented their district winners and announced any students moving on to the state level. Although Lia did not move on to the next level, I am proud of her for her excitement to enter this contest and for working so hard to complete her story and illustrations in the final hours before the submission deadline way back in October!
During the gallery walk, we found Lia's entry at the table with all of the other students' stories. Here she is holding up her story with sweet Ella at her side.
