Title: My daughter won 1st place in the fire safety poster contest!
Post by: jinxmchue on October 22, 2008, 08:55:43 AM
We got a message on our answering machine from her kindergarten teacher that she had won a prize.  My wife took the kids down to the fire station last night (I was at work, unfortunately) for the prize presentation and found out she had won 1st place!  She won $15 and she and her brother got to ride around in one of the fire trucks with lights and sirens and everything.  They were really stoked about it.  Still are, in fact.  I think her poster also gets put into a calendar.  How awesome is that?

I'll take a pic of the poster and put it up soon.  It's too big to scan.

I'm so proud of her.   :-)

(Poster edges look wonky cuz I had to shoot it at an angle to keep the flash from reflecting off it so much.)

I look forward to seeing it in national posters or something.

It has that real kid look and says what you need to do (us grown ups, too!).

Very cool and you are rightly proud :)

They're chimneys, you boobs.  Haven't you ever seen really young kids draw chimneys on houses before?
