Congratulations!
Annabelle S and Kiarra P are National Scholastic Silver Medalists in 2020!
We just found in March that these two amazing writers won for the following pieces:
Annabelle's dramatic script Mirror, which will be featured in the 2020 Aerial: Perspectives
Kiarra's poetry "Bruised Fists" and "Rainbow Girl"
This is a HUGE honor and puts them into the realm of other great American authors like Stephen King and Joyce Carol Oates, who were medalists when they were first starting out as well.
See the national ceremony LIVE, June 4, 2020 at 6 PM, EST at artandwriting.org/celebrate.

A little virtual time together...

On Wednesday, April 15, we gathered online with 12 different devices and over 20 students and guests to share our children's books. These were primarily created at home during the quarantine/stay at home order, yet the quality of the work was amazing! From online digital pictures, to drawings, to downloaded images, personal photographs, these were some of the best books created to date. Everyone should be very proud of their accomplishments.

Congratulations to our 2020 authors!
