ARTIST OF THE MONTH!!!

Paige is becoming quite the famous artist around our house!!! This week in particular she is being recognized for her fabulous art work!Monday was her yearly art show at the college. Her art teacher arranges for all her students to display a few of their art pieces for a night. It is an amazing night. It is fun to see what talent these young students have. It is truely wonderful. Thursday night, Paige is being recognized at the McKinney Independent School offices for having an art piece being displayed for the month of April. This is a project she did in art class at school. I asked Paige what was being displayed - and the funny thing is she is not even sure what it is...
Saturday will be Paiges BIG DAY! McKinney is celebrating Arbor Day! The students at school were asked to draw something that would go along with the theme, "Trees are terrific in cities and towns." Paiges art teacher entered her drawing into the Arbor Day contest. 233 pieces of art were submitted from all the surrounding schools. Each school had one honorable mention winner and then there was the GRAND PRIZE WINNER. When Paige came home and explained that her art work was submitted and she mentioned a prize was given for each school, I thought, "oh great, Piage won for the school." Then she said, "I didn't win honorable mention - I won the Grand Prize." WAHOOOOOOO!!!! Being the grand prize winner - Paige will have her picture on the official Arbor Day Poster and also printed on the Arbor Day t-shirts! She will be recognized in front of everyone! We are so proud of Paige!!! She has such a great passion and love for her art work. She is so humble too.... (her friend is actually the one that said, "Paige has something she needs to tell you!) Here is her grand prize winning drawing......I am so glad that Paige is getting recognized for what she loves to do...congratulations Paige!
