On Saturday, January 24, nine Berkshire students arrived at Andrews Osborne Academy with their pens and imaginations ready to compete at the Power of the Pen District competition.
Berkshire’s 7th grade team consisted of Victoria Anderson, Grace Clarke, and Anne Reed. The 8th grade team included Emily Dingman, Teagn Farley, Carson McCandless, Stormy McClellan, Sam McClintock, and Kaitlin McFadden. These students had prepared for this event through weekly writing activities and assignments to strengthen their writing abilities.
At the competition, students were required to attend three different, 40-minute writing sessions and to respond to prompts ranging from “The Hole: write about what’s in it” to “The setting of your story is a middle school dance”. The writing pieces were then scored and ranked by area judges and the results were announced at a culminating awards ceremony.
Congratulations to these hardworking and creative students who did such a fine job representing their school at this event. Special congratulations to Anne Reed who placed 12th out of nearly 100 area writers.
