Josh Dew - A Council of the Animals for World Peace

6th grade
Spring Creek Award Winner - 2013

"Animals inspire me because when I look at any animal, from a spider to the fluffiest dog, they remind me how innocent they are and how they all deserve to live.  I try to be kind to bugs and so I try not to kill them.  They remind me that all life is valuable and priceless, so I try to be kind to others even when they aren't being nice to me."

"The poem that I wrote about Hank Aaron has to do with 'Believe, Dream, and Inspire,' because it talks about the people believing in Jackie Robinson.  The next part talks about Hank Aaron as a boy, dreaming of baseball and wanting to be like Jackie Robinson.  The last part talks about how not only did Hank Aaron admire Jackie Robinson, but he was inspired."

Gracie Harding - A Song for Kevin

Music Composition
7th grade
Spring Creek Award Winner  - 2013

"My Uncle Kevin is an inspiration in my life.  He taught me that music is a source of happiness and helps to keep a positive outlook.  My Uncle Kevin passed away this week.  This inspired me to write a song about his life.  The first movement is slower and in a lower key, representing his life and trials.  The second movement is a bit faster and in a higher key, this symbolizes his breaking free of his trials.  I believe he is entering into a happier place and I dream of seeing him again."

"Does a rainbow ever make you believe that it will be sunny again?  Do you ever dream of finding a pot of gold at the end?  Do rainbows ever inspire you to keep going because the storm is coming to an end?  All of these things are true of me, and I'm sure at least one of these examples apply to everyone, and this is why I think my entry exemplifies this year's theme."
