Zachary!

Here is our family photo after the ceremony. It was a nice ceremony.

We received notice last month that Zach had been entered in a coloring contest at school for the Am Vets on Americanism. He was one of the top three for the 1st grade. We were invited to a dinner and ceremony. When we arrived, we found out He placed 1st! Here he is with his teacher Mrs Clark - who is now out on Maternity leave with twin girls soon, and Mrs Vogel the principal. (nice to see he is on good terms with her!)




There were several schools that entered. From St Joseph's, there were 7 winners. All three from 1st grade and three from 3rd grade and one from 5th. Zach is in the front with the two girls from his grade.

Here he is with his medal. So proud.

They had all of the pictures displayed as you walk in. Kindergarten and 1st grade were to draw a flag, 2nd, 3rd and 4th were to show what a veteran means to them, and 5th through 12th were to write an essay on what Americanism means to them.

Here are the three pictures from his grade.
