Several weeks ago, Lily mention one evening that her art was chosen for use at a “art show”. She also said, “I have a paper about it.” I was interested but assumed it was a school thing where they try to get you to “buy” your child’s framed art work. Typically price is around $30 each. We have discussed this in the past so Lily already knew we would not be purchasing. Several days later, she brought me this.

Not at all what I expected, so we made plans to attend the reception. Lily also found out that she was one of two students chosen from her school for this. Tonight, Matt and Zach went with Lily to the reception. Kendall and I were at cheerleading. They found out that Lily was not only one of two chosen from her elementary school but one of 6 elementary school students chosen overall. Her picture will be on display for the next year at the “Civic Center.”  The title of her picture was “Glitter soup.”

It is the top picture. She also received a very nice certificate.

So this is not at all what I expected but I am very proud of her.
