Dynamites indeed come in small packages ‼

Have you ever heard of www.artsonia.com? Well, it’s an art site where students can not only post the artworks created by them but also create their individual fan clubs. The site has overgrown in popularity since its inception and today there are some 500 million works of art posted on this site from the students from over a 100 countries. Now this is some site that needs to be visited.

But this site isn’t the highlight of this post. What this brings to the limelight is the fact that recently a fifth grader from Moorhead beat almost thousands of kids who had posted their art work on the site and won the coveted “artist of the week” award. The award is given to the artist whose work gets the maximum votes in the online polling.


The kid who won this prize, Thomas and his art teacher Michelle Sailer together won $150 worth art supplies as the reward in recognition of the award. Thomas is a student of Reinertsen Elementary school in Moorhead.

Allen Carr’s easyway to stop smoking books are one of the best selling books on how to stop smoking. It explains in easy language on how to free yourself from smoking.

The site has been named as the world’s largest art museum for the kids and as stated earlier, it attracts entries from the kids all over the world. It is a unique medium of sharing works of art and providing the incentive to the kids to enhance their creativity.

A moment of celebration also came for Dana Carlson, the principal of Clara Barton Hawthorne Elementary School, who was named the Region 5 Regional Principal of the Year. This recognition was granted to Carlson by the North Dakota Association of Elementary School Principals.
