Mesa Arts Center In Phoenixs, AZ

Thanks to all the students that participated!
Our trip to Arizona headed out Friday, April 2nd at 9a.m. The weekend was full of not only
Acticvties during the Contest but also visiting the Grand Canyon, Raw Hyde, and Flagstaff.
Students enjoyed sight seeing, Snow Ball fights, and Go Cart Racing. Nevertheless the Turkish
Language & Performing Arts Contest was the highlight and main event of our trip. We had a
total of 11 participants representing our school this year. They had several categories like
--> Language
--> Singing
-->Poetry
--> Special
--> Folklore
-->Theatrical
-->Sketch
--> Speaking
Our very own Diamond Smith won First Place in the Special Talent Category. Five states
participated in the West Coast and we had the only winner in the state of California! Lets all
congratulate everyone that participated.
