Three eighth graders from Culver School participated in the Young Women’s Writing Festival on October 20, with one of the Culver students taking first place. The event was part of a "National Day on Writing" hosted by Resurrection College Prep High School in Chicago.
Thirty-eight middle school students from Chicago and nearby suburbs took part in the contest, which was designed to foster interest in creative writing. The students received a writing prompt and a photograph, and then had 40 minutes to write an original narrative essay.
Congratulations to Elena and Emily for their outstanding narrative writing under pressure — and to Sydney, who took first place!
