When I arrived I felt right at home not only because everyone was so welcoming but also because the school was almost identical to the one I had visited the day before. I took the near-identical big stage and put on my first show to some crazy characters in the 5th grade. It turns out that my visit coincided with their &#8220;twin day.&#8221; You see, during the last week of school, the 5th graders get to dress up differently each day. It&#8217;s too bad I didn&#8217;t show up on &#8220;tourist day&#8221; (another one of their themes) or I would&#8217;ve blended right in.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nAfter all of my performances, I enjoyed a pizza party with the special winners of the writing contest. Out of more than 80 entries, the winners were: Abigail, Ariel, Arman, Guy, Ian, Jessica, Julia, Kamdyn, Kayla, Maha, Michelle, Mikaela, Robin, Ryan, Shea, Tal, Tegan, Walter, and Yadin. Great job, everyone!<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nI&#8217;d like to thank Mrs. Nollin for all of her hard work setting up my visit and the PTA for having me out. I&#8217;d also like to thank Mrs. Leone and Mrs. Elias for all their wonderful help. Thanks to Sasheen for being my guide in the morning and a super-big thanks to all the great kids at Embassy Creek Elementary! Keep writing those wonderful stories!<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.embassycreek.com\/index.cfm\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSCN06882.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"DSCN06882\" width=\"500\" height=\"344\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSCN06882.jpg 500w, https:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSCN06882-300x206.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; I spent my last day in Florida visiting the fantastic students of Embassy Creek Elementary in Cooper City, Florida.
