Inspirations Assembly

I got a call mid November from the Inspirations committee (similar to Reflections) at school telling me that Mikkele had placed in the photography category that she had entered, and there was going to be an awards assembly on November 19th. They didn't want me to tell her so that she would be surprised during the assembly. She saw me when she walked into the gym for the assembly and she sure was surprised...but then the gears started turning. She knew something was up since I was there and I had my camera. They called all the kids up to the front that had participated in the Inspirations contest, then went through each category and age group.

Mikkele ended up placing 2nd in the Photography category for the 3rd-5th grade age group. Come to find out, 1st and 2nd place gets to go on to Regional's as well. I don't know when that will take place though.

The group of kids from the Photography 3rd-5th grade age group that place 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, as well as 2 honorable mentions.

Excited and comparing awards with other kids that received one.

Tienna and Mikkele showing off their awards and certificates.
Tienna Sabin also placed 2nd in her category. She made a sculpture about recycling. Rietta and Gunner also did sculptures and received honorable mentions.

All of the kids that participated in Inspirations received a doughnut after the assembly.

Mikkele is quite the artsy child. I don't know where she gets it from. Neither Jeremy or I are very artsy. Whether it's photography, singing, dancing, etc...she does really well. We are so proud of you Mikkele! Good job!
