What began as a class writing assignment ended up as a bound book for
five lucky and talented ASA students. The Upper Merion library
sponsored a `Write and Illustrate your Own Book' contest encouraging
children to put forth their best composition and artistic talents.
Several area public and private school students participated as the
library received over 350 entries. Ms. Jeanne Kauffman, the Head of
Children's Services at the Upper Merion library, commented during the
awards ceremony, `We are especially pleased to have received so many
entries this year from the Armenian Sisters Academy.'
`Since instituting `Writing Across the Curriculum' five years ago,
we've found a marked improvement in our students' writing skills,'
noted Dolores Wood, ASA vice principal. `Good writing is important for
students to communicate successfully. Students need to be able to
express themselves clearly, vibrantly and well for different audiences
and a variety of purposes. `Texting' does not always work!'
The Academy's winners included:
Soseh Yepoyan, 5th grade: 2nd place for The First Day of Fall
Brian Damerau, 7th grade: 1st place for Baseball
Stepan Cannuscio, 7th grade: 3rd place for Hockey
Luiza Shirnian, 7th grade: Honorable Mention for Jimmy's Adventures at Sea
Anie Avedissian, 8th grade: 3rd place for Almost a Whisper: A Fatal Lullaby
All winners received a book store gift card and each winning student
will have their book bound and made available for circulation at the
Upper Merion library. Since this was the Academy's first year
participating, entries were submitted only from the 5th - 8th
grades. Based on their success, the administration will encourage all
grades to participate next year. Congratulations to our ASA winners!
