Congratulations to our very talented young writers who recently received 10 Gold Keys, 31 Silver Keys, and 45 Honorable Mentions for a total of 86 writing awards in the Scholastic Art and Writing Competition. All gold key winners will move on to the national completion this spring.
Special Awards to note: Olivia Ossege was recognized as American Voices nominee for one of her Gold Key pieces. From the Scholastic website, “The American Voices nominees are “Best in Show” awards that most exemplify originality, technical skill, and the emergence of a personal voice or vision.” Each region has five American Voices nominees. One winner will be chosen from each region and presented the American Voices Medal at a ceremony in NYC. Kate Williams received a Gold Key for her writing portfolio – a collection of several pieces of writing.
Congratulations also to our NDA English teachers represented: Michael Byrd, David Jackson, Gurrie Frisbie, Lauren Garrett and Amanda Schultz.
