Youth

Children whose artwork was submitted for judging in the Shelbyville Horse Show Jubilee Youth Art Show waited with their parents and family members to see if their name was called as a winner. It was open to grades K-12 with first, second and third-place ribbons and cash prizes provided by AT&T. The artwork will be displayed this school year at the Shelby County Board of Education Central Office, 1155 West Main, unless a parent wants to pick it up.

Joseph Maddox cut part of his paper in half to make a flip book in which he wrote down words corresponding with the tricky sound of Y...ones that sound like E versus ones that sound like I.

I think I will be ahead of everyone else!”

A group of unidentified girls work on projects developed during the Talented And Gifted summer camp for elementary children. The task was to become an inventor and to create a display board explaining the invention and its benefit to society. This creation was a robot that picked up clothes.
