You lift Me Up Sophie Smyth - PTA Reflections 2010 Beauty Is

Santa Monica 10-year-old fifth grader, Sophie Smyths song, You Lift Me Up, written for her dad, Robert Smyth, was selected as the top entry for the intermediate division of the original music category for National PTA sponsored Reflections Program. Sophie took top honors competing against 65,000 entries from students throughout the state of California Writing about her dad was very easy. Much to her surprise, her song was chosen to represent her school (Franklin School), and then her entry had to stand the test against other entries in the local PTA district 33. Her song climbed up the competition ladder. On Saturday, May 1, 2010, Sophies song was awarded first place in her age bracket and category. Sophie was invited to sing her song at California PTA Convention in Sacramento where Sophie was presented the Award of Excellence certificate. Sophies song will represent Californias best in the National level competition of the Reflections program.

@corgeomom

you are so right Dorothy about how 'Marmie' (Granmma Sophie) would have been so proud. In fact she would have worn out the CD!
