Outstanding Writers Recognized at Crest Memorial School

WILDWOOD CREST — Twenty-eight Crest Memorial School students have their literary work on display on a bulletin board at the main entrance to the school, where it will remain for the next two months. Their work was selected by their teachers and Principal Ann-Maria Guevara as the best examples of student writing for the month.
The bulletin board, titled “Principal’s Corner,” showcases outstanding young authors in grades 3 through 8. Teachers submit the best writing by students each month and the selected essays and projects are posted on the bulletin board. The authors enjoyed have a pizza lunch with Guevara as their reward for excellence. During the lunch, excerpts from the students’ work was read and discussed.
The Principal’s Corner bulletin board is a way for the school to highlight student academic achievement and encourage students to write more, according to Guevara.
The students are also given a certificate by Guevara, which states that the selected student has “a gift for writing that transcends mere words and reaches instead into the language of the spirit.”
Students whose work is featured on the bulletin board are: Alessandro Sanzone and Abbey Pruszinski, third grade; Emma Cleffi, Ben Steiger, Ryder Fuscellaro, Hannah Fuscaldo, and Josh Vallese, fourth grade; Julia Sorensen, Ella McIlhinney, Aidan Bradley, Frank Basile, and Alyssa Taylor, fifth grade; Alexa Lord, Alex Hunt, Alan Rendzak, and Cooper Gehring, sixth grade; Isabelle Hudgins, Chris Johnson, Andrew Zielinksi, Erick Feria, Obed Pelaez, and Christina Adams, seventh grade; Maddie Hamlin, Katie Queen, T.J.
