I'm so excited to announce that Lorin is one of 50 winners in the 5th Annual Meemic Foundation Masterpiece Art Contest. Over 2,400 students from GA, WI, MI, and IL entered and Lorin's artwork was selected. Congratulations Lorin! Once the virtual art gallery is launched, I will post the link. Lorin's work will be professionally framed and displayed at Meemic's corporate office in Michigan. Lorin also will receive a special certificate, a Sphero Bolt, and an Amazon Fire Tablet 7.
Due to the current world situation, Sonia Coronado, our local Meemic representative, was not able to come to SWS and surprise us with the announcement. Ms. Coronado called me with the happy news. A Google Meet was held to announce Lorin as the winner to the class.
Because Lorin won, I also won a fabulous prize. A $300 gift card for Office Depot was sent to me to use on my classroom. I can't wait to go shopping!!!!
In true SWS spirit, her classmates cheered and typed comments of congratulations.
A special shoutout to Emma and Aidan who also entered the art contest. Unfortunately, only 50 masterpieces were chosen. This 6th-grade class is filled to the brain with talented artists. I hope more students enter the contest next year.
Congratulations Lorin, Emma, and Aidan!
Never stop trying!
