Story Telling Festival

Olivia's school has been preparing for a Story Telling Festival here in Utah, they all had to learn a story and recite it in front of the class as part of their grade. So Olivia chose the book Olivia... And The Missing Toy, she has been very cute about learning it and stood up in class last Friday and told her story I was very proud and she did very well. I had a meeting with her teacher today and she told me Olivia had been chosen as 1 of the top 3 in the class. Tomorrow she and the 2 others will tell their story to the 2nd grade teachers and they will decide who the winner will be. The winner then gets to tell their story at an assembly in front of the whole school. She told James today " The teacher said whoever is the winner if they don't want to say it in front of the school that is OK but if it is me I am going to do it!" She is so happy and I am very proud because she is usually so shy.
