Sixth Grade
Conclusion: These were
very difficult to decide.
However, to be fair, one
point was considered above
others--unselfish love. Sev-
eral of the youngsters
expressed love for the things
which THEY received from
their mother. This is
certainly to be commended.
However, here the deter-
mining factor was apprecia-
tion for the mother as a
person--not for material
things. Children, ALL the
letters would make your
mothers proud!. In HER
