Brooklyn's Junior American Citizen Contest

In February, Brooklyn's 2nd grade class entered the "Junior American Citizen Contest". The theme was, "America, Land of Opportunity". They had a poster contest, a stamp contest (designing a postage stamp), and a poem contest. Each of these things needed to be created with the theme in mind. Anyway, we went to a little award ceremony and Brooklyn won 1st place for her stamp and 2nd place for her poster. We were very proud of her. She won $5.00, which she was thrilled about! It was a very small contest, but it was a very fun opportunity for her.
