Ethan's story The Big One took FIRST PLACE tonight in Fifth Grade Literature at the county-level of PTA's Reflections contest! He recently received first place at his elementary school and advanced to the County Competition (a cluster of 30 Gwinnett County Schools). We went to the Reflections Exhibit and Award Ceremony this evening at the Gwinnett Heritage Center; we had no idea he had won until we saw that blue ribbon hanging on his displayed story. This means his story will now move on to be judged at the state-level of competition. He was very excited, but not nearly as excited and proud as his mom. *tears* I was thrilled that he took time to record this very exciting moment in his life, and that was enough for me; however, for a child who struggles a bit with confidence and self-esteem, this award and recognition is an extra special blessing!
Don't let me forget to mention that our neighbors Wesley and Will Warbington also placed in the county competition! Wesley took First Place in 4th Grade Literature and Will took Second Place in 2nd Grade Literature! Way to go, boys!
