As a final note, we accidentally ran the wrong coloring page winner last issue! Apologies to Justin! We are running his winning page this issue to make it up to him. Brenna’s page is to the right. Justin’s is to the left and below. Also, just a reminder ... the contest is only for kids up to 6 years old. 7 year olds aren’t eligible to enter, but we would love to see their drawings in our drawing contest! Drawing Contest Last month we asked for illustrations of our theme “A Very Merry Christmas.” The illustration to the left by 12 year old JoDena Yoder of 10000W, Millersburg was selected as our winner. Congratulations! The theme for next month is “My Favorite Snow Activity” so start getting creative. All entries are to be two-dimensional and on 8½” x 11” paper. The winning entry will be published in our next issue and will have bragging rights for the month! Drawing contest winner!
