NDA Students Receive 137 Scholastic Writing Awards

Congratulations to our very talented young writers who recently received 2 National Silver Keys, 25 Gold Keys, 55 Silver Keys and 57 Honorable Mentions in the Scholastic Art and Writing Competition. That is a total of 139 Scholastic Art and Writing Awards! 

Two NDA students were named National Silver Medalists in the Scholastic Writing Competition. They are junior Kendall Crawford, Ms. Emiy Sampson’s student and sophomore Katherine Horsford, Mrs. Linda Bricking’s student.  Kendall won for her poem, “The Demise of Eve,” and Katherine for her humor piece, “Holden Caulfield Analyzes Facebook.” These two talented writers are invited to NYC to receive their awards.

“The power of words our girls command speaks for itself,” said NDA English teacher and English Department Chair Linda Bricking.

“Congratulations to our students as well as our English department on the significant number of awards received,” said NDA Principal Mr. Jack VonHandorf. “In addition to the number of awards, it is quite impressive that all of our English teachers had winners this year.”
