Congratulation to Southern Boone second grade student, Annaleigh Lohmann, who won first place in a nation-wide writing competition. The PBS KIDS Writers Contest is a national competition designed to promote the advancement of children’s reading skills through hands-on, active learning. The effort encourages children in kindergarten through third grade across the country to celebrate the power of creating stories and illustrations by submitting their own original works. The contest was coordinated by Watertown Public Broadcasting in New York. Lohmann was unable to attend the award ceremony on May 6 in New York due to short notice but will receive her award from the station soon. She and the 10 other winners will be honored during the month of May with special TV spots celebrating their achievements as young authors.

Earlier this week, these students got to enjoy a Principal's Lunch with Coach Karr at the primary school. They had their Eagle Tickets selected during last month's PBS Assembly.
