The Philaco Woman’s Club is proud to announce the winners of this year’s 4^th grade writing contest.  Judging criteria for the contest included originality & creativity, clarity, organization, correctness (grammar and spelling), and visual presentation (neatness).  The selected question for this year’s essay was “If you had the opportunity to bring any person to Franklin County, who would you bring and why? What would you share with that person?”  Members of the Philaco education committee served as judges and the winners were announced in April.  First, second, and third place winners of the contest received cash awards of $50, $30, and $20 respectively.  Grace Carroll of Ms. Childress’ class was the overall top winner.  Second place winner was Parker Mock (Ms. Childress) and the third place winner was David Paul (Ms. Barber).  Two students received honorable mention awards:  Emily Fichera and Jessie Jo-anna Alday. 

The intent of the annual competition is to encourage, promote and reward writing skills in Franklin County’s elementary school students.
