Essay winner AND American Idol

So Tyler wrote an essay about his 6th great grandfather, Artemus Millett. He was chosen in the top 20 for 4th grade. On Friday, they came and announced the top 5 winners and Tyler was chosen. He was so excited. He had no idea. Joe and I had known since Wednesday, but were told to keep it a secret. He received a beautiful certificate, and 20 gold dollars. WOW! Way to go Tyler :) He had fun doing the essay and we all learned a little more about one of our ancestors. Friday was also Washington Elementary's talent show. As a special guest star to open the program, we had Taylor Vaifanua. She is 16 from Hurricane, Utah and she was one of the top 36 on American Idol. She has a beauiful voice, and is beautiful girl. So talented. She sang several songs, and was so cute with the students. We were very lucky to have her come to our school.
