Students submit creative writing pieces for evaluation. Two judges, provided by participating schools, evaluate each work submitted based on a rubric. Students are awarded based on their scores and receive evaluative comments from each judge.  Students in Grades 4–12 from ACSI member schools may participate.

The following students submitted work into the ACSI Creative Writing Festival and received awards! Congratulations to these students for their great writing pieces!  

Superior Awards:  Anna Kathryn Britt and Haley Pacacha. E xcellent Awards:  Madison Chin, Miruna Chiribau, Emma Henderson, Kristen Makhlouf, Arianna Myers, and Ellie Vogelsang

ACSI Math Olympics and Creative Writing Festival Results

In 1 Corinthians 12:4-7, we read,

“Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit, and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.”

Each of our students have been created by God with a variety of gifts. Some have been given gifts of creativity, others athletic gifts, others gifts of compassion, and others gifts of music. Whatever gifts we have received, we are called to use them for His Kingdom and glory. This winter, our students were given an opportunity to demonstrate their gifts in the areas of writing and math, through two competitions organized by ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International). For the ACSI Math Olympics, students took a series of qualifying math tests to determine who would compete regionally. For the Creative Writing competition, the students in middle school were asked to submit their top writing piece according to the qualifications determined by ACSI. In celebration and thanksgiving for the math and writing gifts God has blessed these students with, we would to recognize the following students.

Prince Writing Team Competes in Creative Writing Festival

The Prince Avenue Christian School Writing Team recently competed in the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) Creative Writing Festival.  The team of twenty-three 4th–7th graders, coached by Prince Media Specialist Danny Delgado and 5th-grade teacher Amy Tarelton, met twice a week during the spring semester for a writing master class with Prince alumna and published children’s author Mez Blume (’06).

The team covered a multitude of writing skills and topics and submitted their final products for adjudication.  Of the twenty-three stories, more than half were nominated for an “excellent” rating with one earning a “superior” rating.

The Writing Team has compiled all of their stories into a published anthology titled  The Chronicles of Prince Avenue: the Pen, the Paper, and the Wolverine .  The team enjoyed a book launch party in which each writer was recognized for his or her accomplishments and presented with a personal copy of the book.  The book will also be available to check out in the PACS Media Center.

Prince Lower School Principal Becky Callaway explains that the Writing Team is a valuable experience for the students providing a unique opportunity for growth.  “Studies show that a common thread connecting all great achievers, no matter the field, is their ability to communicate effectively.  This year’s publication, confirms that exponential growth in a subject area can happen, given the right nurturing environment.  The whole experience, crowned by this published anthology of stories, will be treasured by the writers and their readers for years to come.”
