A Blooming Prairie 4th grader's design was selected as the winning design for the upcoming 4th of July celebration in Blooming Prairie. The design is of an Awesome Blossom wearing a mask and sunglasses that reflect the American flag.
A big congratulations to Leah Watson for the winning design! You can see the button below.
