We found out a few weeks ago that Olive's photo from Reflections that won a prize of excellence at her school had also won at the regional level and is moving on to state. This is a really big accomplishment and we are so proud of her. To win at the region level means that she was competing against all the other kindergarteners, 1st graders, and 2nd graders in the whole district. It is very prestigious. We honestly had no expectations of her photo moving on because she was going to be against such older competition so when we found out we were shocked. There are roughly 15,000 finalist at the state level but if they win there they go to Nationals. Crazy right? The awards night was very impressive and extra special because we got to go with just Olive.
Here she is in front of the display table with the other visual winners.
Her awesome photo!
She had lots of love and support there, we are so glad Grandma Lulu and Grandpa Kerry could make it.
We had to take a photo of the proud parents.
And a selfie!
There was a really great program of all the winners. There is some major talent in these schools. We were all so impressed. Olive liked watching the film winners and music winners. Then it was time for the awards. Here she is receiving her medal, announced by the superintendent of the district.
I think this picture is cute because she looks adorable bouncing back to her seat but also because, see that little boy in the background? He was in her preschool class and he was so excited when he recognized her and saw her win.
Winner winner!
Here are all the winners in a picture to be put on the school district website and be featured in the Murray Journal. Doesn't she look like a little peanut?
Grandma Kathleen and Grandpa Tod admiring her new bling.
I was such a proud mama that night. This girl never ceases to amaze me!
