Great work, Vivian!
Great Hollow Middle School sixth grade student, Vivian Santiago, was one of 12 winners statewide in a new contest that challenged children to express their thoughts on why literacy is critical to health and wellness. The inaugural Every Child Reads Student Awards, coordinated by the New York State PTA, received 55 submissions from K-12 students, asked participants to create a poster, video or essay in response to the question “Why is reading important to your health and wellness?”
Vivian, who has won several art awards, says her motivation for the contest was her younger brother. “My brother loves books. He loves ELA,” Vivian told us. “Reading is good for your brain.”
Congratulations to Vivian and thank you to ELA teacher, Mary Ellen Nelson.
