Congrats To Milpitas Rose School 4th Grade Fishing Day Story Winners

From Frank De Smidt of the Milpitas Rotary Club:

Three 4th Grade Milpitas Rose School students were honored this month by the Milpitas Rotary Club for their Fishing Day stories following their Fishing Day experience in March held at Spring Valley Pond in Ed Levin Park.

The students were assembled in the Rose School gym for this event conducted by Fishing Day Chair John Jay and assisted by Rotary President Eric Emmanuele, Police Commander Daryl Sequeria, and Fire Battalion Chief Brian Stelling.

The Penmanship Award, “Without good penmanship the best story or idea could not be read”, was won by Clare Sanchez.

The Voice Award, “A writer’s voice is what keeps a reader reading”, was won by Mimi Huynh.

And the Originality Award, “All stories start with a good idea”, was won by Dawn Betner.

All three winners were also awarded very nice prizes.
