About a month ago, all of the students in the school district, including the Kindergarten, were given the opportunity to create a Christmas Card with some kind of Christmas scene. Well…the other day, Christopher’s teacher informed me that he had won the contest for his school, and he was one out of ten students that were chosen for the entire school district. He and the other students’ Christmas card artwork will be used on the school district’s 2007 Christmas Cards that will be sent out all over the state of Mississippi and to the President of the U.S. They also invited us to attend their weekly school board meeting last week, where Christopher was recognized and given a Christmas stocking full of goodies. He was so excited, and I was so proud of him, because he really behaved himself and sat still at the board meeting, and then walked up to receive his reward all by himself. I could have cried, my little boy is growing up! Hopefully, next week, they will be giving us the artwork back, so I can post it. It’s a Christmas tree, with Garfield dressed up in a Santa’s suit, of course.

Wow! Congratulations to you both!
Christmas cards all over the State and right to the President: that’s exciting news for anyone, and I’m impressed he could take it so calmly. What a fabulous Christmas present for him too!
(I love the way you said his FIRST art contest: can’t wait to see more from him!)
Merry Christmas to all of you–

Thanks Susan! Yeah, I didn’t even think about that. Saying his “First”. I guess I am just automatically assuming that this won’t be the only contest he wins.
In fact, I’m absolutely positive that this won’t be his last. He continues to amaze us everyday with some of the stuff he comes up with. I’ve actually got several of his drawings that I need to scan and post. Just haven’t gotten around to it. I’ll let you know when I get them up.
And hope you and your family have a wonderful and Merry Christmas too!

congratulations!!! When my daughter was in the 4th grade she won an art contest. I remember how proud I had felt. I am still proud.
