Mark Twain's First Place Cake

John Marshall's First Place Cake

The second annual George Washington Cake Contest was a success!  We had entries from Beggs, Seminole, Holdenville, and many more communities across Oklahoma.  The finalists were selected by an arts expert and an authority on Colonial America.  The six finalists were brought to the Oklahoma Department of Education’s Art and Social Studies Conference where the participating educators voted for the top cakes.  The winner of the 6^th-8^th grade category was Jennifer Lynch’s class at John Marshall High School.  Mark Twain’s art teacher, Beth Howard’s afterschool art students created the 3^rd-5^th grade winner.  I have included photographs of those two cakes as well as others from across the state.  Reita Adam’s art classes from Bartlesville did not participate in the competition because of all their snow days but she sent in pictures anyway.  So enjoy all the cakes created for our first (and in my opinion GREATEST) President George Washington!
