Pathfinder Students Shine!

Two Pathfinder 6th Graders received the Mayor’s Scholars Award. Congratulations to Mia Kaiser-Nielsen and Princess-Nyosha McWilliams, two of 19 middle school students throughout Seattle who earned this year’s scholar awards for service to their schools and communities. Each winner receives $500 to be used for school or a charity of their choice. Students wrote short essays about how they contribute to their community and how they would use a $500 cash award. In addition, students were required to provide several recommendations from adults familiar with the students' service work.

Monica Harris, 5th Grade Eagle Clan student, was named a semi-finalist in the Washington State Letters About Literature Contest during a ceremony held April 4 in Olympia. Monica was one of only four Seattle Public Schools students selected. Letters About Literature is a national reading and writing promotion program that encourages young readers to write letters to their favorite authors. At the national level, students compete to win a $500 gift card and $10,000 for their community or school library. Good luck, Monica!.
