School Essay Contest
In Mrs. Davis’ technology classes each student is given the opportunity to participate in the writing contest. Utilizing their typing skills the students receive a monthly prompt to write a 200 word essay. The essays are then sent to East Burke High School where Mrs. Emily Church’s 10th grade students read, evaluate the stories and select best essays. This program is a collaborative effort between the high and elementary students. The winners of this month’s contest were rewarded with an ice cream Sunday party on Friday April 19, 2013.
