Sophie Fleischer is a second grader at Canterbury Elementary School in Cleveland Heights with an artistic bent that her Mom says she noticed, "at a very early age." Now she has a chance to get some national recognition for that talent and win equipment for her school. When WCPN asked Marla Fleischer why this was an important story she said, "Because Sophie is my daughter!" Then, making her case more broadly, she said, "In a time of shrinking school budgets, this is a real opportunity for our students." Out of 1,500 entries nationwide, Sophie's package design for an old-fashioned caramel apple dip is one of 12 left in competition.
