Nine middle school writers ventured to Jacob Coy Middle School on Saturday to compete in the Power of the Pen District Tournament! The eighth grade team won third place, and eighth grader Harpreet won second place as an individual. Next stop will be Regionals at Wittenberg University for those who qualify.

Since 1986, Power of the Pen has offered Ohio students the opportunity to participate in the state’s leading interscholastic writing league. Competitors are sorted into rooms of 6 and given 40 minutes to craft a story based on a surprise prompt, and the stories are evaluated by judges on-site.

Congratulations, Rams!
