Can I "brag" for just a minute????

We have had a very exciting week with the children! They continue to amaze us each day with their strength, both in mind and body. Monday both children were awarded as WINNERS in their grade for "Reflections", a state wide art contest. The theme this year was "Beauty Is. . . ". Cameron won in Visual Arts (1st grade) for his wave sculpture. Sadly, because Mommy did not read the rules close enough and 3-D art is not allowed, he cannot go onto the County Level. However, the school judges felt his was fantastic and he won! Madeline won in Visual Arts (3rd Grade) for her drawing of a Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon. She will be allowed to go to the County Level, so stay tuned! Both were awarded ribbons AND a $25 WalMart gift card. Wow.

That same day, Cameron came in 1st for this class' 1-mile run with a time of 8:47!!!! And Tuesday, Madeline came in 3rd or 4th (we think) for her class' 1-mile run with a time of 9:04. Madeline will also participate in the Girls On The Run 5K this Saturday. What a champ!

So here, is the bragging. . . . . Mrs. Prausa and Mrs. Cody, both teachers at Neptune Beach Elementary, left the following posts to my Facebook page. . . . can you see me beaming with pride from you are today????
