Parent Email and Response

 Good morning!


I'm writing with fantastic news (maybe Ryan already told you)! This fall, in English 2 Honors, we spent time writing personal narrative essays, studying the elements of personal nonfiction and memoir. Students submitted their essays to The New York Times' Annual Personal Narrative Essay Contest. 

Out of more than 11,000 entries, Ryan's charming and hilarious personal narrative, "The Pyrotechnician" was selected as a Runner Up, in the top 30 essays in the country! You can see his name published in the Runner Up category at the bottom of the winner's page: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/20/learning/the-winners-of-our-3rd-annual-personal-narrative-essay-contest-for-students.html

We are bursting with pride! Such great writing! Congratulations to Ryan!

Thank you so much for letting us know about this wonderful news. Ryan had informed us about this achievement a few days back but hearing it directly from his teacher really makes us extra proud.. He is a blessed child with such great teachers like you.

 

Thanks for motivating Ryan and his continued endeavors in the subject.
