Congratulations....

Congratulations to ALL the students who stepped up to participate in the "Telling Our Tales" Thomas Wolfe Student Essay contest this September.  Winning students read their essays to a packed room this past Saturday, October 20th. Even if you didn't place, I am proud that you pushed yourself to try something new.  This in itself is a big accomplishment!

We had THREE students from our classes take the top three places for the high school level of the competition!  What a strong showing for our talented homeschooling community.  Here are the winners and their essays below.  Click the link if you'd like to read their winning essays.

1st Place---Nick Oursler  for his essay, "The View from Up Here" 


2nd Place--Mary Walton for her essay, "Broken Can Be Beautiful"



3rd Place--Tabi Shepson for her essay, "My Blindness"

If you missed out on this one, we will participate in another contest this spring.  I hope even more students will stretch themselves and share their writing in the next one.
