If I was President

Check out the 4th grade winners of a poetry contest I sponsor in my  town. The theme of this years  contest was “If I was President”  I believe it’s always great to reward children for something other than sports because many of our kids will not be sports stars but will make it via education and anything to reinforce that message is wonderful.  It’s my pleasure to introduce to you the two winners of this years  contest.   Aiseosa Iyahen & Anaiyah D. James.
