Scholastic Writing Awards

We are thrilled with the results of this year's Scholastic Writing Awards Competition. We had over 600 works submitted with 80 students winning Gold Key awards, 149 winning Silver Key awards, and 228 winning Certificates of Merit. This year, judges could review works online over a two week span from the comfort of their homes or offices. We had 40 online judges and 15 folks who came in for our in-house judging day. We encourage all young writers in grades 7 - 12 to participate in the fall. Ask your teachers about the program, or stop by and talk to someone at the Youth Services Help Desk and we'll fill you in.

Kudos to all who participated! Let's strive to have even more entries next year.
