Dept. Awards:
Senior Shreeja Shrestha and Freshman Nikki Chapman earn National writing award.
The
SJHS English Department is honored to announce that Shreeja and Nikki have
earned National Silver Medals in the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards of
2017.
These
students have been identified by panels of creative professionals as the most
talented young artists and writers in the nation. This year, more than 330,000
works of art and writing were submitted. Only the top 1% were recognized at the
national level.
Written
in AP Literature, Shreeja's piece is a personal narrative reflection, which
compares her life in Nepal with a situation in The Kite Runner. Nikki's piece is a vignette as part of a House on Mango
Street writing project in Honors English 9.
Juniors Hannah Moore and Lyndsay White win 2017 Achievement Award in
Writing
Hannah and Lyndsay have earned a Certificate of Nomination for the 2017
Achievement Award in Writing, given by the National Council of Teachers of
English (NCTE). Achievement Awards in Writing is a school-based writing
program established in 1957 to encourage high school students in their writing
and to recognize some of the best student writers in the nation. NCTE
recognizes students cited as excellent writers by their schools and the
program’s judges. Only students who are juniors may be nominated. Schools in
all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Canada, as well as American
schools abroad and the Virgin Islands, are eligible to nominate students for
the writing program. This year, 517 students were nominated. Of that number,
106 received Certificates of Recognition and 411 received Certificates of
Nomination. Each student submitted two pieces of writing, which were read by
two judges. Papers were judged on content, purpose, audience, tone, word
choice, organization, development, and style. For more information about
the NCTE Achievement Awards in Writing, including past winners, see http://www.ncte.org/awards/student/aa.
