An essay written by Kaya Booth ’22 and poetry written by MP King, Poetry ’22 earned Gold Key Awards.
Twelve pieces of writing by University School of Nashville have been recognized in the Middle Tennessee Writing Region for the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards.
The Scholastic Art and Writing awards honor teenagers from 7-12 grades for their exemplary work in both writing and art.
The goal is to promote teenagers’ work, so it can be seen across the world. The purpose of this is to help students capture and identify their talents. Students, with the help of teachers, can submit their work into one of the 29 categories. Each year, some USN students unlock their literary and artistic potential by submitting work into this competition. Scholastic has three award categories: the Gold Key, Silver Key, and Honorable Mention. This year, 28 USN students were awarded for their art, and 16 students awarded for writing.
The gold key pieces by Kaya Booth ’22,, Critical Essay, and MP King, Poetry ’22, are now being judged at the national level. Congratulations to them as well as the following students:
