The Valdosta Board of Education recognized 13 students from across the district who were named grade level winners in the annual Young Georgia Authors writing competition.
The purpose of the writing competition is to encourage students to develop enthusiasm for and expertise in their writing, to provide a context to celebrate their writing successes, and to recognize student achievement in arts and academics.
This prestigious competition has been engaging Georgia students for more than two decades and is open to any student currently enrolled in Georgia public schools, grades K-12. The competition is sponsored by the Georgia Language Arts Supervisors (GLAS) and the Georgia RESA Network with support from the Georgia Department of Education.
In addition to these grade level winners, two of our students have won at our RESA level and will now move on to the state competition. Congratulations to Hayvyn Forrest and Khalandrea Council, both students of Valdosta Early College Academy. We wish you best of luck in the state competition.
