The Dean's Writing Award is back up and running. Each month, one piece of student writing regarding Judaic Studies and one piece of student writing on a General Studies topic will be awarded the Dean's Writing Award. The names of the nominees will be posted to our Dean's Writing Award Wikispace, and the work of our winners in each category will be posted as well, for all to see. In addition, each of the winners will take a home a small gift card to Barnes and Nobles. So, write away!
As we did not award the prize to anyone in September, I have selected 2 winners in our General Studies category for this month, and one in our Judaic Studies category. The two General Studies winners are Lee Sauer (2nd Grade) for her story about firefighters and Alyssa Wruble (8th Grade) for her dramatic depiction of Middle Passage. On the Judaic Studies side, the winner is Asher Finkelstein (8th Grade) who insightfully compared the lessons of Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde with those of the Talmud. Look at the wikispace for the names of the other nominees.
Congratulations to all and keep up the good work!
