"We are always excited to receive entries from Daystar
Christian School, as your students always do such outstanding work," said Sara Schwartz, Program and Events Manager, Pueblo City-County Library District.
Each of the five, 5th-7th grade students from Daystar, were recently notified that they won awards for the 2016 Youth Creative Writing Contest. Their work was chosen out of more than one hundred entries because of their excellent word choice, plot development, paragraphing, editing and proofreading.
Noah Tivis, Daystar 5th grader exclaimed, "I felt very happy that I was able to achieve this award and win a prize in a writing contest."
Each winner will receive a certificate of achievement, a booklet of all the winning entries and a gift certificate to a local bookstore.
"My students enjoy writing and it is so nice when they are rewarded for their talents and hard work," said Michelle Velbis, principal and head teacher at Daystar Christian School.
Winners from L to R: Bella Kilfoy-2nd place (5th grade), Luke Velbis-3rd place (6th grade), Noah Tivis-3rd place (5th grade), Audra Bennett - 2nd place (6th grade) and Collin Velbis-1st place (7th grade)
