Whittier Celebrates "Young Authors" Winners! 3.15.13


Whittier Celebrated our FABULOUS "Young Authors" winners today with a pizza luncheon and awards ceremony! Students in all grade levels were challenged to write an original and creative story during school time. They did not get any help from their teachers, but they still ended up with the most fascinating stories! Although we had the difficult task to pick only one winner per grade level, we realize that our students are very talented writers so congratulations to all who participated.

Congratulations to the following stories that won first place for Young Authors:

1st grade– "The Girl Gets to Go Everywhere" by Shaniya G. (Mrs. Franklin’s Class)

2nd grade– "The Football Player" by David M. (Mrs. Corona’s Class)

3rd grade– "Mr. Pear goes to Work" by Jorge L. (Mrs. Montgomery’s Class)

4th grade – "The Multiplication Kingdom" by Nancy M. (Mrs. Avila’s Class)

5th grade– "How the Lizard Came to Be" by Oscar S. (Mrs. Slater’s Class)

These students will now be competing at the district level. They received a medal for their winning stories and everyone who participated (2nd and 3rd place in each grade level) were treated to a special luncheon with family and their teachers!

Special thanks to 5th grade teacher Dr. Campos, for organizing and running this AMAZING event for us!
