Welcome!Flower Mound Writers Give $1,000 in Cash Prizes to Denton ISD students Thanks for the effort of many teachers, administrators, and our very own Tracey Levine, the FMWG offered cash prizes to students participated in an essay contest during this past school year. Students were asked to write a 1,000 word essay on "Overcoming Adversity". Judges came from the school district and FMWG members. The first place winner and the recipiant of $500 cash prize was Ms. Jenni Marshall from Ryan High School. Second place winners from Guyer High School were Ommara Akram, Schuyler Dale, and Mikayla Martin; each receiving $100. Our Third place winners, also from Guyer High School were Joshua Ferris, Hannah Ellis, Baktawar Hafiz, and Kalee Measles; each receiving $50. The reception to the contest from students, teachers, and parents was overwhelmingly positive and it was a pleasure to be on hand to make the award presentations. I firmly believe this is where the FMWG can continue to make an impact in our community and I hope some of you will want to get involved with next year's program. Dave Bernstein We are still writing.
