Wilchester Elementary third-grader Connor Stein has been selected as a Top Ten Poet in the Creative Communications poetry contest.
Connor wins a $50 U.S. Savings Bond. His poem will be included in the anthology, A Celebration of Poets, which includes more than 100 student works chosen for their literary merit, creativity and social significance. He will also receive an complimentary copy of the anthology.
Connor’s poem was selected to represent his grade division. Connor was photographed recently with his third-grade teacher, Erica Finley, Wilchester Elementary Principal Carol Emerson, and his parents, Larry and Cindy Stein.
In recent years, several Wilchester Elementary students have had their poems selected for the anthology, the campus reports.
