Here are the winning authors and illustrators from the 2009"Imagine This" story writing contest . This was taken in Arnold Schwarzneggar's office (although he wasn't there). We had a great time touring the Capitol, meeting with our representative and attending Ag Day on the Capitol lawn. We also attended the CFAITC (California Foundation for Ag in the Classroom) fundraising dinner, where Emma and one other girl read their stories. The little girl with the blue hat is the 7th grade winner. She was re-diagnosed with brain cancer in the Fall. You can read about her at the following website: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/ciarachiesa. She had just been released from the hospital following a 12 hour brain surgery the day of the Awards Ceremony. She and her family are quite an inspiration.
