CVHS Junior Wins Scholastic Gold Medal
Tory Songyang, CVHS junior, won a Gold Medal for her flash fiction story, "Organic Horror," in the national Scholastic Arts & Writing Competition.
She had to win at the regional level first to advance. This is a HUGE honor for her, our school, and our district.
Some statistics from Scholastic:
* This fall and winter, students across the country and from places abroad submitted more than 300,000 works of art and writing to the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards.
* 17,000, or just about 6% earned regional Gold Keys and qualified for Scholastic Art & Writing Award National Medals.
* Of those, just 2,200, or 0.7% received National Gold and Silver Medals!
Congratulations Tory!
