Another strength of Mineral Point students is a consistently strong showing in the Delta Kappa Gamma Literary Competition and this year was no exception.
At the middle school level, 7th grader Rita Wilson won first place in Illustrations for her entry “Shine” while 6th grader Bryce Acherman also won first place in Illustrations for his entry “Maximus & the Portal to the Past.”
At the elementary, 5th grader Brianna Wesley won first place in Literary for her entry “Cinnamon’s Journey Through the Snowstorm,” 4th grader Elizabeth Dunn won first place in Literary and Illustrations for her entry “New Dog,” 3rd grader Claire Steffes won first place in Literary and Illustrations for her entry “Bella’s New Glasses,” and 3rd grader Gavin Houtakker won first place in Literary and Illustrations for his entry “An Adventure in the Wild.”
This group will be honored by the Mu Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma encompassing Grant, Lafayette, and Iowa counties May 2 at a banquet and will find out at that time if any of their entries are state winners.
Congrats, students!
