Essay Contest

The County Supervisor and I concocted an essay contest for the 5th and 6th graders in our area. The title: "What a President from Arizona Means to Me."
I was glad to see my son's school took the project very seriously and they wrote some awesome essays.
The winning entry was from a 6th grader named Nixon who wrote how he'd be excited, proud, and grateful that the whole world would get to see what kind of politician comes from our home state. Pretty cool.

The reward was a pizza lunch, paid for by Buster Johnson, the County Supervisor.

Once I put those pizzas down, it was as if sharks had infested the picnic tables. They ate everything within 5 minutes!!!


Great lunch though. I had fun, and so did the kids.
