    What began as a class writing assignment ended up as a bound book for
    five lucky and talented ASA students. The Upper Merion library
    sponsored a `Write and Illustrate your Own Book' contest encouraging
    children to put forth their best composition and artistic talents.
    Several area public and private school students participated as the
    library received over 350 entries. Ms. Jeanne Kauffman, the Head of
    Children's Services at the Upper Merion library, commented during the
    awards ceremony, `We are especially pleased to have received so many
    entries this year from the Armenian Sisters Academy.'

    `Since instituting `Writing Across the Curriculum' five years ago,
    we've found a marked improvement in our students' writing skills,'
    noted Dolores Wood, ASA vice principal. `Good writing is important for
    students to communicate successfully. Students need to be able to
    express themselves clearly, vibrantly and well for different audiences
    and a variety of purposes. `Texting' does not always work!'


    The Academy's winners included:

    Soseh Yepoyan, 5th grade: 2nd place for The First Day of Fall

    Brian Damerau, 7th grade: 1st place for Baseball

    Stepan Cannuscio, 7th grade: 3rd place for Hockey

    Luiza Shirnian, 7th grade: Honorable Mention for Jimmy's Adventures at Sea

    Anie Avedissian, 8th grade: 3rd place for Almost a Whisper: A Fatal Lullaby

    All winners received a book store gift card and each winning student
    will have their book bound and made available for circulation at the
    Upper Merion library. Since this was the Academy's first year
    participating, entries were submitted only from the 5th - 8th
    grades. Based on their success, the administration will encourage all
    grades to participate next year. Congratulations to our ASA winners!
