Emily's fourth grade class did an essay on "What Dr. Martin Luther King means to me." Emily was one of the finalist for her school, and she won the contest. Her teacher said that she was the only one that really wrote about the topic and put her own feelings in the essay. Most of the other students just did a report on Dr. Martin Luther King.
Brett was able to go to the school the day the winner was announced, and he was able to celebrate with her. She was a little embarrassed because it was "crazy hair day" at school, and her hair was pretty crazy.
She won a $50 gift card, and it burned a hole in her pocket.
The day we went to spend it was "Breast Cancer Awareness Day" and she decided she wanted to get something to symbolize winning the essay and breast cancer. She had received a Pandora bracelet for her birthday, so we went to look at charms. This is the charm she chose. The peace symbol to represent Dr. MLK Jr. and the pink jewels for breast cancer.
