PTA Reflections Contest

Last year both girls entered the PTA Reflections contest and Hannah won the visual arts category for our school and advanced to the district level.  This year she decided not to do it, but Olive entered in the choreography category and won both the school and district and then advanced to the state level! You can see a little of her dance in this video of all the district winners.

The theme was "Within Reach" and Olive wrote: My dance was about reaching every way to can to get the thing you want to get.  I did the circles in the dance because sometimes when you think you walk in circles.  When I reached up it is like when you are reaching for a high goal.

She is showing off a still from her video.

So excited she was jumping up and down!

Since she was a district winner we went to a reception at a board meeting and she got to shake the superintendent's hand.  She was very proud.

The littlest girl is also a first grader at Olive's school.  She won the literature division.

Olive's journal after the reception: "I won the Reflections.  I got a prize.  I got to shake the superintendent's hand.  I'm famous."
