Proud to Be an American

Jakob's teacher had each of her students enter the Iona Lions Club Proud to Be an American Contest. Each of the kids were asked to write and essay, draw a picture or write a poem on why they are proud to be an American.

Jakob entered an Essay, and a Drawing, and he won honorable mention in both categories. The awards ceremony was last night. Each of the people who entered an essay or a poem were asked to get up and read their entry to the audience. Jena didn't like all of the clapping and would cry every time that people clapped, so her and her dad spent the whole time out in the hallway!

Good Job Jake on both of your entries!

I don't like to put other peoples picture up on my blog because I don't know how they will feel about it being on the Internet, but these are the only pictures I have from the ceremony, so sorry Lion's Club lady!
