1-3 GRADE WINNER

Peaceful Place
by Ben Helzner

Sitting on the side of the bridge I
marvel at nature's creation. When the
methodical trickle of the calming water
passes over the wet rocks like a
rollercoaster, I feel bliss. Talking to my
Uncle Fred, I feel as if my spirit has left
my body to join the water sliding across
the slippery rocks. At Valley Green, I
now am at peace.
