Crest Memorial Students Recognized for Writing Excellence

WILDWOOD CREST – Crest Memorial students in grades three through eight who have produced exemplary written work were recently rewarded with a pizza party and prominent display of their compositions.
Crest Memorial School has its “Principal’s Corner,” a bulletin board that features the output of the current literary honorees, in the lobby by the school’s main office. The Principal’s Corner was originated by Crest Memorial Principal, Ann-Maria Guevara, an educator who strives to improve student writing skills through encouragement and example.
Not only is the work of young writers exhibited, but they are treated to a pizza lunch with Guevara. During the lunch, students discussed their essays with the principal.
Those achieving Principal’s Corner received a certificate commending them for their writing excellence.
Named to Crest Memorial’s Principal’s Corner for February are Jenna Ziemba, Sean Wood, Carly Murphy, Mariann Kurtz, and Sofia Jurusz, third grade; Tallula Rogers, Julia Mohr, Michael McGee, Alejandra Garcia, Lucas Gehring, and Brandon Matthews, fourth grade; Keith Press, Max Smith, Connor Koskinen, Jimmy Kurtz, Ethan Burke, and Monica Orlandini, fifth grade; Alex Hunt, Grace Stuart Matt Vodges, Ryan Bradley, Cameron Bush, Nolly Finocchiaro, Darren Keeley, Kendall Clifford, and Jerry D’Antonio, sixth grade; Isabelle Hudgins and Will Long, seventh grade; Nicky DeMento, Gigi Palermo, John Feraco, and Anders Marius, eighth grade.
The topics and styles for student writing showcased on the Principal’s Corner bulletin board are varied, and include persuasive, explanatory, and speculative pieces. The student compositions will remain on the Principal’s Corner bulletin board for the next two months.
