Writing Students Advance to Next Round

Students Advance to Next Round

In October of last year, I began meeting with students who were interested in preparing an entry to this year's Letters About Literature Contest. After four supporting lessons, in early December, I submitted 22 entries from students in all three grade levels.

Last week, I received word that the following students have advanced to round 3 judging:
Agnes Navaratne, Keagan Vernon,Georgia Sinclair, Shelby Hickey, Isabel Dufford and Rachael Bradshaw.

In Colorado, only 60 students progressed to round 3 and six of them were from Manitou!! What an achievement!

State judging will be complete on or before March 22 and we should hear the final results shortly after.

Congratulations to all students who submitted a letter, To those students who have advanced, I hope everyone will join me in wishing them the best!
