Our county, like lots of communities around the country, holds an art contest to sponsor its programs within the schools. The Clean County Poster Contest was the most recent one that Josephine entered. She drew a poster in art class, back in August, like every other student in her homeroom, and didn't think about it again. This week we heard about her drawing.
Our story begins with another good call from the school principal. This time it was from Josephine's principal and she was so excited to tell us that Josephine's drawing had been selected as a winner. Out of all the kids in the county - that's about 15 elementary schools - Josephine was one of the winners. Twelve were chosen - all girls - and the county will use the drawings for its county education district calendar. Josephine is "Miss November, 2015".
She was presented with a gym bag full of goodies - she was particularly excited about the extensive collection of stickie notes. The presentation was in front of the school board meeting and Josephine was the first one ask to address the board. She said she was nervous, but, she was articulate and handled herself very well. We are so proud of our artist, Josephine.
Her poster is a girl recycling - she's putting her bottles in the recycling bin - and behind her is the recycling center. Click on the picture for a close up. Way to go, Josephine!!!
