These students have been given the opportunity to have their poems published in the prestigious book titled Award-Winning Young Writers of America. "This year our school is implementing the Write from the Beginning Program, which has provided organization and structure for our students' writing. We are very pleased to see the positive results of this program and are very proud of our students' accomplishments," said Renee Sasser, BES principal.
