Fifth grader dances ‘as pretty as the sunset’

By Becky Ginos

CENTERVILLE—Dancing on the shores of the Great Salt Lake took some courage for Centerville Elementary fifth grader Kalaya Queen Blackwell. It was stinky, muddy and filled with bugs but that’s what made it all the more beautiful. Blackwell was dancing for the reflections contest with the theme “Accepting Imperfection.” Her entry went all the way to the national contest where she received the Award of Excellence.
