QVMS students win writing competition

Quaker Valley Middle School students were encouraged to participate in the Waldmann International Arts and Writing Competition this year.

This competition allowed students to expand on the themes of the QVMS seventh-grade social studies curriculum, utilize primary source documents, practice online researching skills and respond creatively. This year’s theme was “Resilience.”

Students were asked to use true stories of victims and survivors of the Holocaust to examine how individuals found strength during and after the war. Seventh-grade student award winners were Reagan Eichert, Olivia Galluzzo, Charlotte Liao and Dominic Pogue.
