Students at Myerstown Elementary participated in an essay writing contest before the Christmas break.  They were to write an essay on either bullying or a character trait.  Prizes were given to the top winners from each grade.  4th and 5th graders had a chance to win the grand prize of a ski trip to Blue Mountain Ski Resort (www.skibluemt.com) thanks to volunteer teachers (from left) Mr. Michael Muhr, Mr. David Hull, Mr. Brad Entrekin, Mr. Todd Gaffney, and Mrs. Libby Mcguire (who took this picture)  who all agreed to pay their own way, as well as help from the Pennsylvania Ski Areas Association program to encourage 4th and 5th graders to ski for free (www.skipa.com).  Saturday, March 6 was the trip for the winners, (from left) Avah St. Onge, Jeffrey Lorah, Grace Firestine, Kelsie Salem, Jalissa Nolt, Matthew Berger, Kayla Light, Sierra Smith, and Xandra Moyer.  Additional assistance was provided by parent volunteers, Mr. Wade Salem, Mrs. Janelle Salem, and Mr. Sean Firestine.  The Myerstown PTO provided funding for pizza at the mountain.  We are hoping to repeat this contest next year, and we look forward to seeing ELCO students show off their essay writing skills.
