Pictured above: back - Abbie Hartman, Devon Colwell, Emma Clinton, Adam Roe, Sammy Cosmello, Devon Bailey; front - Tori Auckland, Savannah Glover, Morgan Mansfield, Renzie Tanzini, KayLeen Conklin, Kyra Powell; absent from photo - Giavonna Fiore.

Students attend a day of workshops presented by children’s authors, illustrators, poets, and local presenters. Students are recommended by their classroom teacher and submit a piece of original written work which is published on a CD given to all participants.

The featured authors for this year were Judy Young who specializes in writing children’s poetry along with Lindsay Barrett George, a local children’s author and illustrator. Students had the opportunity to meet these authors and have books autographed by them. When asked what they liked best or learned from attending Young Authors’ Day, Kyra Powell replied, “I loved getting my book signed by Judy Young and learning about what kinds of poetry there are.” When asked what aspect of their writing are the students most proud of, Abbie Hartman said, “I am most proud of my voice and my humor in my writing.” Young Authors’ Day proved to be an educational and fun event for all. Blue Ridge Elementary is proud of their student authors!

In Quarter-Finals, Cohen defeated Delbarton’s Viveck Shimpi, who he had defeated in the second round of the tournament. In Semi-Finals, Cohen defeated Zach Schulyer from Newburgh Free Academy High School and advanced to Finals

“This was an incredible performance at a tough tournament. I could not have asked for more from these guys this weekend. Three closeouts is a feat that has never been accomplished on this team,” commented EL Forensics Director Keith Brosious.
