Community Day Students Place in Prestigious Teen Writing Contest |
Scholastic announced the
winners for the state of Massachusetts in their annual art
and writing contest. Four of our students were selected.
This is one of the most prestigious teen writing contests,
with each state holding the contest for grades 7-12 and all
work is blind-judged and graded with rubric for originality,
technical skill, and personal vision/voice. In MA, it is
run through the Boston Globe and each year the paper
publishes the entire list of winners in late January/early
February.
Last December, Mr. Costello
and Mr. Cummiskey selected 8 students' work to enter, all in
the category of poetry (the genre at the time that the ELA
classes had spent the most time polishing in the fall before
moving to personal essay in writing workshops). Overall,
221 awards were given out in the state. Out of the 8
students, we had four winners- two Silver Key winners (2nd
place): Ciara McKinney (8th grade) and Yeimi Soto (7th
grade), and two Honorable Mention winners (3rd
place): Amanda Mendez (8th grade) and Ashley Portorreal (7th
grade).
Mr. Costello and the entire
team is very excited as our students were the only students
in Lawrence who received writing awards as well as the only
charter middle school winners. This is a highly
competitive contest and the students did a fantastic job to
place in it. Please join us in congratulating Mr. Costello, Mr.
Cummiskey, and the students for their tremendous work.

The Lady Spartans led by All Tournament Team selections, Yakaira Capellan and Elemy Colome, secured the #1 seed going into Championship Sunday. They dominated the competition, but fell to Kipp in their 5th consecutive finals appearance. This is a new tournament record. The men had a tougher road over the weekend, but performed wonderfully on Sunday by winning their first round game18-5 against Boston Prep, before falling to the eventual winner, Kipp Academy in the second round.

Dad’s Club Breakfast a Success at the Community Day Charter Public School’s
Early Learning Center Like many other schools, the Community Day Charter School has tried many different ways to encourage parental involvement in the school through its Parents Advisory Board (“PAB”.)
