Writing at its finest! Congratulations to the two students selected to represent RCBHS in the WV Young Writers Contest. Representing the 9th and 10th grades is Lydia F. and representing the 11th and 12 grades is Kaden J.
Since 1984, the West Virginia Young Writers Contest has celebrated student writing in the state. Each year they host a contest that grows out of a deep commitment to writing in all subjects, and to the publishing, displaying, and celebrating of student writing.
English teachers in our school and in schools throughout the state have encouraged students to submit writing for judging first at the school and then at the county level. Submissions may be on any topic and in any prose genre: fiction, nonfiction, narrative, memoir, or essay. County selections will then be judged by leaders from the Central West Virginia Writing Project at Marshall University on ideas, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency, and conventions.
State winners will be notified in March and will receive monetary awards. Good luck to Lydia and Kaden!
