The theme for this years reflections contest was Beauty is. Gracie decided to show nature's beauty buy doing a photo collage. She titled it "Beauty is Nature's Rainbow". We set my camera to the close up setting and she headed out with her dad, in hunt of trees. It was the perfect time of year...FALL!
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple. Through Nature's Trees. She had a little saying she had typed up and we posted all of this onto a black foam core board. The photos were pasted on in an arch. And "Nature's Rainbow" was cut out in a rainbow of colors and pasted along the bottom of the arch, following it's path. Then in the center underneath she pasted her saying. She bordered the whole thing in a rainbow of glitter. We were supposed to shrink wrap it, but this is Roosevelt. Where am I going to get it shrink wrapped? I called everyone I could think of. No go. So it got turned in without.
A few weeks later, Gracie was told that she had won. Her entry was being sent to the next competition. As of yet, we haven't heard anything. Maybe we never will, and maybe we will never see her entry again. They said that was possible. Sad, but understandable. I wish I had gotten a picture of her with the finished project. But we were so worried about getting it turned in on time, I never thought of it, until I left the school that day. Hindsight!
So, way to go Gracie! I'm very proud of you!
