Reflections 2012-2013

We received word this week that all 3 boys' photographs are moving on to State in the PTA Reflections competition.  This means they won at the school level and the district level.  If they win at the State level, they move onto Nationals.  We are very happy and proud!

Ethan's entry was called "Rainbow Glory".  He took this picture on our way home from St. Louis during Fall Break.  We were in Indiana . . .

Ashton's entry was called "Flying Museum" and was taken at an Air Show in Frankfort, KY.

Ryan has (2) photographs moving on.  One is called "I Pledge Allegience" and the other is called "The Beautiful Red Rose".  The eagle picture was taken at Grant's Farm in St. Louis.  I think the rose picture was taken at Rainforest Adventure Zoo in Gatlingburg, TN.  To be perfectly honest . . . I THINK these are the pictures that moved on.  He had several pictures and I am a little confused.  I will update if these are incorrect.  We get to attend a reception in April in their honor.

We are hard to beat when in 4th grade

Today during an assembly they announced the winner of the Kentucky Kids Day T-Shirt design contest.  This is the contest 2 years ago that Ethan won.  He was in 4th grade.  This year Ashton is in 4th grade . . .

The Entries!

Today Brinley, Ryan and Ashton worked hard on their Kentucky Kids Day T-Shirt Design Contest entries.  This year's theme is Go For the Gold at Eastern Elementary.

The first step in the process is for each class to vote on the entries for their class.  Brinley and Ashton won in their class, Ryan did not.  :(

The next step is for the class winners to be voted on before the entire school.  Each student gets to vote for their favorite picture.  The kids do not know who drew the entries, what grade they are from, etc.  I think all the kids did a superb job!!

More Winners!

Today we received information that Ryan, Ashton and Ethan's PTA Reflections Entries won at the Divisional Level and are bound for State.  The only photograph that didn't make it was Ryan's Flower City.  Of course, we are very proud of these boys.

HERE is the link to the post with the pictures.  We will keep you posted on how the photographs do at State.

PTA Reflections

If you can remember back to last year, Ryan had 4 of his photographs win Award of Excellence in the PTA Reflections contest.  He was thrilled on the last day of school when they awarded him 4 huge blue ribbons.  That defininately caught the attention of his older brothers . . . .

Needless to say, this year all 3 boys entered the PTA Reflections contest.  The theme this year was Diversity Means . . .

This year we decided to head over to the Apple Orchard for some picture taking!  Ashton also took pictures of friends for his entry.  All their pictures turned out really, really good.  I was impressed!

Late last night I received an email from Ryan's teacher (the Reflections Boss at the school) that all 3 boys received an Award of Excellence (and Ryan earned 2!)  This means their photographs will go on to the next level (State).

Next week, November 17th we will get to see all the entries at the Scott County Museum where they will be honored.

Here are the award winners . . . and the others too!
