This week, twelve Riverstone students were recognized for excellence in writing by the Idaho Scholastic Writing Awards — an affiliate of the national organization that works to honor and encourage the voices of young writers. Student submissions were blindly judged by panels of leading writers and artists in our community.
The students who were honored at the Idaho level will be recognized at a spring ceremony at Boise State University, with Christian Winn as the keynote speaker. Each student’s work will be submitted to the national awards, which entails massive scholarship opportunities and a possible invitation to the awards ceremony at Carnegie Hall. For more detailed information about the awards, please visit www.artandwriting.org.
