Ellie Rose won a 4th grade state essay contest last spring. Her essay was on 'Why I like my Community'. It was such a fun thing. She won a little money for herself and $1,000 for her school. She was invited to read her essay for the Utah League of Cities and Towns on September 12. They provided a hotel and some cash for the stay also. These are the pics of her speaking and the room before it was full of people! Seriously. No way I could have done this at 10 years old. She wasn't even nervous. She ate it up. We really had so much fun. It was a great opportunity for our family! Good Job El!

Way to go Ellie! That is so amazing!! It looks like another writer in the family is up and coming (Daisy). I love the birthday song! How sweet!!!!!
WOW! I'm way impressed! That's why we need to remember that children have no problem with themselves...why do we change into insecure, worried, nervous adults (when it comes to things like that)? GREAT JOB ELLI!!!
