July Contest Winners!

A great big "Huzzah!" (that's an archaic word for hooray!) to all of our July contest winners.  We had a lot of great entries for both the coloring contest and the "My Favorite Book" contest, so it was difficult to choose our final prize-winners.  Prizes for the coloring contest included a tri-colored telescope, a giant jigsaw puzzle, and a globe punch ball; prizes for the "My Favorite Book" contest included a tennis shoe keychain, an Earth-shaped pencil sharpener, and a nylon drawstring backpack.
