FASRI Students Place in National Writing Competition
Wow! Three FASRI elementary students were chosen as semifinalists in the " Letters About Literature" nationwide writing contest! Students had the chance to write letters to authors of their favorite books, which were then judged by a panel.
Over 60,000 letters were submitted nationally, with 715 entries from Rhode Island for all three levels of competition. Of the 290 entries for Level 1 (grades 4 - 6), 59 semifinalist letters were selected by the Letters About Literature national team. Three of those 59 were from FASRI!
Congratulations to Erica Pusztai, Lucy Howland, and Elisseos Papandonatos!
