Cheryl Black is the teacher that found out about contest.
She knew her students were up to the challenge.
"I have a very unique group of students this year. They're excellent writers. We've been working all year on compassion and community outreach, so I wanted to give them a chance to try," Black said.
Avery wrote a letter giving Barack Obama her vote of confidence. She hopes her letter will instill faith in the President.
"I'm happy to inspire and reassure them that he is going to be a very good president," Avery said.
Nathan's winning submission is a drawing, featuring an American flag and a multiethnic group of people, all holding hands.
