the national level of The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards of
2009.
Ivy, her family and teacher are invited
to participate in the national celebration events in New York
City from June 3 - 5, 2009. On June 4, 2009, the Alliance for
Young Artists & Writers, the nonprofit which presents the

of professionals in the creative industries through a series of

have beautiful teeth. We congratulate her teacher, Mrs. Donzella
Johnson, for encouraging Ivy's talent," said Principal Robin
Meiers.
