NYHS Student Wins 3rd Place in State Holocaust Writing Contest
Adira Reback (9th grade) won 3rd place in the high school division (grades 9 through 12) in the 2010 Jacob Friedman Holocaust Writing Contest. 750 students, representing 67 schools, participated in the writing and art contest this year. All NYHS ninth graders entered essays in the contest through Mrs. Hess' LA I class. The topic was "How would your life be different if people were more respectful and tolerant of each other's differences? How does change begin with you?" Adira will be honored May 23rd, along with the other contest winners, at a luncheon sponsored by the Washington State Holocaust Education Resource Center.
Congratulations, Adira. We are proud of you!
