Sopris Sun THE

VOLUME 1, NUMBER 46 • DECEMBER 24, 2009

“Spruce Up e Sun” and the winner is… The ink from the markers is dry and the dust has settled from the colored pencils — the results of The Sopris Sun’s “Spruce Up The Sun” contest are in. We received over 100 submissions, and then went to work selecting our four favorites. It wasn't easy to do, but fortunately we had expert help from the Carbondale Council on Arts and Humanities. The overall winner was secondgrade student Althea Brooke. Her entry appears on the cover of this edition, and she won a mountain bike donated by a dedicated fan of The Sopris Sun. Cynthia, a five-year-old, won the preschool and kindergarten division. Her prize is a box of fingerpaints. We'd love to give Cynthia her award, but first we have to find out exactly who she is. No last name or school was included on her entry. Cynthia, please call us: (970) 618-9112. Second-grader Travis Ochko won the first and second grade division. The winner of the third and fourth grade competition was third-grade artist Solana Teitler. Her prize is a portable set of water color paints. Thank you and happy holidays to all who participated, and to those who contributed time and prizes. Thank you for sprucing up The Sopris Sun. To claim your prize, call The Sopris Sun at (970) 618-9112. See page 9 for the other winning covers.
