WRITER'S CAFE

This year DES held it's annual Celebrate Literacy Writing Contest. This
contest is held by the Mossy Creek Literacy Council to develop and promote
literacy awareness.

Dandridge Elementary had two winners of 14 selected from Jefferson County
and Grainger county schools. The winners were Anna Lee  from Mrs.
Golden’s class in 5th grade and Juliana  from Ms. Teague’s room
in 2nd grade. The published stories these two were sent to Nashville for
entry in a statewide competition.

Dandridge Elementary had 55 entries in all for this contest!

Of these 55 students participants, 14 students were chosen by their peers
to have best represented their class in the writing contest. Those
students were rewarded with a small writer's cafe in which we ate cookies,
drank juice, shared our stories and discussed writing.
