Jaiden, Josh, and Jenna's Elementary School Awards

When the year winds down the kids start coming home with all kinds of awards!  Jaiden, Josh, and Jenna all received the Arrowhead Medallion. Josh and Jaiden received the Presidential Educational Award.  Jaiden received an award for being in the Arrowhead Elementary School Choir for the last three years. Josh and Jaiden also received awards for their reading minutes.  Jaiden received the "Give Me Liberty" award -- which takes a lot of effort! This year the kids who earned the "Give Me Liberty" award received a Kendama instead of a trophy.  Kendamas are the big thing right now and so she was pretty excited about that!  I am so proud of their kids for working hard in school and doing their very best work!

Science Fair Winner

Congratulations to Janelle (age 9) for winning Second Place in the Science Fair for the Third Grade!

Reflections

Jared, Janelle, and Jaiden all entered the Reflections contest in their elementary school.  This year's theme  theme is "Together We Can."  Jared (fifth grade) put for his title, "Together We Can Make The World a Better Place."  He did a 3D construction out of clay of a clean lake and a dirty lake. Janelle (second grade) had for her title, "Together We Can Read."  She wrote and illustrated a really cute story about a panda bear on his first day of school and how he was so nervous but then ended up loving it. She also entered a drawing under Visual Arts of a teacher with several pupils (all cute animals)!

Jaiden (first grade) drew and colored a picture of Thing One and Thing Two from "The Cat in the Hat."  I am proud of all of them for entering.  Tonight was the Award's night where we got to see everyone's projects.  All of the participants got a bag of candy and prizes.  Both of Janelle's entries won in the top three and so she proudly walked away with two big medals.  Her entries will continue on in the district level.  Way to go kids!
