Central Elementary AAA...

The Elementary has AAA (Arts, Academics, Achievement) every spring.  Students decide to enter selected events based on interest level.  Luke had never chosen to enter, until this year when his teacher highly recommended that all students enter.  Lex entered a worm garden last year, here's her scorecard.

They both entered events this year.  After looking at the possibilities, Lukie went with photography, which he admitted wouldn't take much work (though actually, he had to practice quite a bit because his early pictures of waterfalls were not good...he learned a lot about zoom and focus).  Lex went with the creative art again...

Luke took this picture of the Lower Falls of the Gooseberry River using his phone.  It was a nice picture, I figured he'd choose a picture of the Middle Falls that everyone takes, but it turned out nice...

Lex decided to make an igloo out of Starburst (it was a lot of Starburst...) candy and cotton balls representing snow.  The past two years, I've had her diagram out what she wants and this was her aim...

Lex received a 3rd place ribbon for her efforts...

Lukie received a 1st place ribbon for his efforts...

In the grand scheme of things, Lex did a lot more work for her project than Luke...though both learned lessons...
