Success at the Scholastic Writing Competition
Kennedy George
The Scholastics Art and Writing Awards award young, talented writers and artists on both the state and national level. This show, which has existed since 1923, allows authors and artists between seventh and twelfth grade to present their work to the public and gain recognition. This year, Homer Senior High School submitted many of its students writing pieces, and had an impressive award turnout. The following are the students who received formal recognition for their work; however, every student who submitted a piece, regardless of whether or not it received an award, worked extremely hard and the school is immensely proud of all of its students work.
