Summit Hill Student Wins National Poetry Contest Award

FRANKFORT, IL — A Summit Hill eighth grader has received a top 10 award in a national poetry contest. Hannah Ardagh, a student at Summit Hill Junior High, wrote a top 10 poem for the Creative Communications Poetic Power contest.

Ardagh submitted her poem last spring, when she was in seventh grade, the school said. The contest is for students kindergarten through ninth grade from the United States.

Ardagh was one of two seventh graders in the country to receive a top 10 award. Ardagh wrote her free-verse poem "Pathways of a Park," in her English language arts class, and also performed it at a poetry slam at school.
