Middle School Rotary Writing Contest Winners!

The Dunn-Erwin Rotary Club recently sponsored an essay contest using the questions asked by the Four-Way Test.  This test is designed to help students be better citizens as they are encouraged to think before speaking and acting.  The questions addressed in the essay focused on being truthful, being fair, being helpful, and promoting goodwill and friendships.  The contest was open to all area 7th and 8th graders and was anonymously judged by a panel of club members.
The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners from CFCA were Sedrick Pickett, Emma Breslin, and Josh McMillan, respectively.  They were invited to attend a Rotary luncheon where Sedrick was asked to read his winning essay.  In addition to the recognition and lunch, each winner was awarded a monetary prize:  Sedrick won $50, Emma won $35, and Josh won $25.

Angela Godwin, Middle School Principal and English teacher, accompanied the winners to the luncheon on Wednesday, December 4.
