Fourth-grade students recently participated in the ACSI Creative Writing Festival, earning excellent and superior ratings for their essays.
The ACSI Creative Writing Festival is a “mail-in event” giving fourth graders an opportunity to develop their writing abilities and skills either as rhymed or free-verse poetry, an essay, or a short story. Each piece is evaluated by three independent judges. Superior ratings earned at the District Creative Writing Festival advance to the next level, the Regional Festival. Stories, essays, or poems that receive a superior rating at the Regional Festival are published in an ACSI Creative Writing Book.
"This year, Whitefield’s Lower School submitted seven pieces to be judged. Of those seven, ALL of them scored an excellent or above. Three received a superior score and have gone on to the regional level," said Melinda Lee, fourth-grade teacher.
Congratulations to the following students:
