Keep Dreaming… and Keep Going!
Tweet ThisA friend of ours from church just posted this link to the 1st place essay that her daughter wrote for the Patriots in the Park celebration in Granite City this week. Congrats, Lillie. Great essay on having dreams and working on them!
Then, I come to realize that a few more friends' kids essays were also winners. Josh's came in 2nd place among 7th graders. And Freddy's took 2nd place among 5th garders.
Now that I notice, in fact, Holy Family & St. Elizabeth rocked the essay contest. Among 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place winners in grades K-8, Holy Family had 12 and St. Elizabeth had 4. That's 16 of the 26 winners! Frohardt and Coolidge each had 3, Grigsby had 2, and Niedringhaus and Mitchell each had 1. Very cool for our Catholic schools in Granite!
Read the essays: Kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, 5th grade, 6th grade, 7th grade, 8th grade, and high school.
