The Artist

On Fridays, my oldest grandson, Elliott, spends the day at the Center for Creative Learning (CCL). Next Friday evening, CCL is holding a fair as a fundraiser for the World Bird Sanctuary. In preparation, the students have been busy making items to sell.

Looks a little like a kookaburra.

One item is a t-shirt covered, front and back, with bird images. Each of the 155 CCL first-graders submitted an original bird drawing, and the shirt designer chose 25. Today we learned Elliott's drawing was one of the images chosen for the front of the shirt!

Elliott is "over the moon" with excitement. And I'm a proud grandma who loves seeing her grandson's pleasure over an artistic accomplishment.

Congratulations, Elliott!
