SHARK Prizes
By Katherine Vasquez
As all CES people know, we have something called raffle ticket winner called every Monday. I wanted to describe the prizes for all the sharks who haven't yet got a chance to come done to Dr.Kelly’s office and pick a prize.
There are real shark teeth and and guys I am telling you those have been the most popular prize so far. Next, we have shark stuffies and they are the cutest. Then we have shark straws. The straws are really cool and come in different colors. We also have different color pop-its and shark keychains. There are shark tooth erasers. We have bracelets that are light blue and dark blue and we also have shark paper airplanes and bubbles. There are also different color shark pencil grips and shark ducks. Lastly, we have shark pens and notebooks.
We hope you are excited to learn about all the different shark prizes that are waiting for all you sharks.
