Letters About Literature
The Library of Congress holds the Letters About Literature Contest each year, for which students are asked to read a book, poem or speech and write to that author (living or dead) about how the book affected them personally. Three winners are chosen per state out of tens of thousands of students from across the country.
CEA is proud to have had state-level winners for the last 6 consecutive years!
This year, 17 finalists were chosen for the State of Florida. We are proud to announce that 6th grader, Catalina Vigil, was not only a finalist, but won 3rd Place for the State of Florida
for her letter to Misty Copeland, the author of
Life in Motion, which she wrote for Mrs. Perez' grammar and composition class.
Congratulations Catalina! |
