Who is your hero? This is what the Middle School students in Ms. Rachel's English class wrote about. Her students participated in the Fort Dodge Messenger's annual Newspaper In Education Writing Contest. More than 30 students submitted entries, and the top three essays were selected as winners in each of two grade categories. Essays were judged on the following criteria: concise description of the hero, use of examples and supporting details, grammar, usage and spelling, organization, and creativity. The essay was to be 300-400 words, and because of all of the snow days, time was limited to write this for our RTC students! The contest winners are receiving gift certificates to the Crossroads Mall! In the 5th/6th Grade category, the 1st place winner was Brian O., and the Honorable Mention was Anthony Mc.
Great job gentlemen! We are so proud of you! Kudos to Ms. Rachel as well for having her students participate in a great community experience!
