Saddle Brook Students Receive Writing Awards
Two students from SBMS/HS receive writing awards.
Each year, thousands of middle and high school students enter their creative works in "The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards," a national competition sponsored by the Alliance for Young Artists and Writers, and judged by a jury of professional artists, curators from the Montclair Art Museum and arts educators.
This year, two students from Saddle Brook Middle/High School have been awarded the “Silver Key” in this prestigious competition. Only about 10 percent of works submitted in the Northeast Region are selected for the “Silver Key” award.
Pictured (l to r) with their certificates are: Cassidy Hickey, 7th grade, (Cassidy’s submission was a short story titled “Broken”) and Cassandra Winnie, 11th grade, (Cassandra’s submission was a poem titled “The Curse of the Ragdoll”). Cassandra also won several Honorable Mentions for other works of poetry. The students were sponsored by English teachers James Garvey and Catherine Rippas.
