“Sorry,” I replied. “Our judge needs a few minutes to make her decision. Everyone stand next to your snowma — snow creature.”

Obediently, the kids stopped their work. Claudia paced up and down in front of the nine masterpieces, her hands behind her back, her brow furrowed. She was deep in thought. Was this how she planned to look when she judged our snow sculptures?

At long last (when there were only about ten minutes left before lunch), Claudia stopped her pacing, stood beside me, and said, “I am pleased to announce that the third-place winner is Frankie and his snow farmer. The second-place winner is Ian and his snow Martian. And finally … the grand-prize winner is Kara and her snow woman!”

“Hurray!” cried Kara.

The other kids tried to smile, but they weren’t very successful. “Now don’t anyone go away,” said Claud. “Wait right here for the prizes. All of you.”

“What? What prizes?” asked the kids as Claud dashed inside.

“I have no idea,” I replied honestly.

When Claudia returned, she was carrying her Polaroid camera. She snapped a photo of each kid with his or her creation. By the end of the day, the photos were displayed in the common room with a yellow ribbon under Frankie’s picture, a red one under Ian’s, and a huge blue one under Kara’s. You should have seen the looks on the kids’ faces when they saw the display. For the rest of the week, they kept hanging around it, especially Kara. I had to hand it to Claud. For someone who thinks she isn’t smart, she sure comes up with good ideas.
