Madison participated in a creative writing for Tweens class offered by our public library.  It's part of a teen arts & expression program that allows teenage artists and writers to teach and mentor younger aspiring artists.

 

As a participant in the program, Madison had the option of participating in the program's annual reception.  The reception incuded displays of the artists work as well as readings by the authors.  Madison read the introduction to her fictional story "The Dragon Stone" to an audience of about 40-50 people.

Our family has found a new church home.  We've joined Kaw Prairie Community Church.  Our new congregation currently meets at St. James Catholic High School (Ooooh!), but are looking forward to moving into a brand new facility in early June.  The kids will continue to attend Hope Lutheran School.
