SI-Ashland forwarded the following 2 entries to the Federation contest. We enjoyed having both girls, with their mothers, attending our meeting on March 10th, where they shared their drawings and essays:
Julia Ferguson, age 6, honored:
Mia Driscoll, Kindergarten teacher:
"I like Ms. Driscoll because she taught me how to plant tress. She taught us about mammals and about the earth. I like her classroom--her tables and her toys. She is nice and taught us how to treat others with respect. She was my Kindergarten teacher last year.

Ceili Widmann, age 12 honored:
Shawna Johnson with these words:
"She won the Olympics at 16, was a finalist on Dancing with the Stars. Gymnastics and Dance are my two favorite things. Shawna cheered on her teammates and dared to dream."
