Three VIllage Students Capture Top Honors in Writing Contest

Ward Melville High School 10th-grader Isabelle Scott and R.C. Murphy Junior High School seventh-grader Jordan Klein captured top honors during the Long Island Language Arts Council 2015 Kenneth F. Gambone Writing Contest.

Isabelle earned first place and Jordan second place in their respective grade level categories. For the contest, the students were required to enter two pieces of writing. The first was a timed piece following the theme “The thing I know for sure…” and the second was a self-selected piece from their portfolio that reflected their best work.

As a first place winner, Isabelle will have her piece “Dirty Business,” read at the organization’s luncheon in May. Both students received monetary awards and a set of books for their winning pieces.
