Several Big Piney students were among those in the state honored in the 2007 Letters About Literature Contest. Letters About Literature encourages students to read, be inspired and write back to their favorite authors.
Approximately 56,000 young readers across the country participated in this year’s Letters About Literature competition, a reading promotion program of the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress, presented in partnership with Target Stores.
In Level I (grades 4-6) honorable mentions went to Cynthia Higley, 6th grade, of Big Piney Middle School for her letter to Todd Strasser about Con-Fidence; and to Sarah Shafer, 5th grade, Heritage Christian Academy of Big Piney for her writing to Carolyn Meyer about Mary, Bloody Mary.
In Level III (grades 9-12), Oscar Delgado, 10th grade of Big Piney High School won a second-place honor for his letter to Rosa López about The Life that Seems Good.
