Vids for Kids: DVD Drive Year 2!!!!



This was my family's 2nd year collecting new and gently used DVD's to donate to our local children's hospital. We beat last year's record of collecting 100 DVD's . This year we collected (drum roll please) 168!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can see the 3 boxes full behind me. Note: I was sick that day. UGH!



I was "comissioned" to draw artwork for the back of my school's 5th grade t-shirts. Here's how it turned out! That's our mascot.

3/13/12 Tropicana Speech Contest: First Place in my Class!




I wrote and gave a speech called "Imagine" about using your imagination for the Tropicana Speech Contest. I competed against 21 other students and won first place! Next, I go up against the winners of the other 5th grade classes at my school. Wish me luck!
