After submitting one of the winning essays, the students were sent a box of Legos, along with instructions to construct a building unique to their local area. The building the class had chosen and written about was the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio located in Oak Park.
There were entries from the Chicago area, Tennessee, Texas, Ohio, and West Virginia. Their Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio replica recieved over 1,600 votes from the Lego Kidsfest visitors. It received 46 more votes than the 2nd place finisher, US Cellular Field by St. Jerome School of Chicago.
Below are three links to separate articles written about our wonderful students. You can also view the replica in our front display case next week.
Congratulations Mr. Podlasek, Ms. Pasquinelli, and students in the multi-age class!
