Power of the Pen
Versailles
students take 3 of 4 top POP honors
By Bob Robinson
BOTKINS – Versailles Middle School students take top 7th and 8th grade
team honors, and Versailles 8th grader Hannah Bey takes top 8th grade
individual, at the 2016 Power of the Pen Regional Competition at
Botkins on Feb. 13.
Additional 8th grade Versailles winners are Jenna McClure, who came in
ninth and Taylor Hainline, tenth. Additional Versailles 7th grade
winners are Chloe Grillot, seventh and Brooke Timmerman, eighth.
Versailles coach Carrie Borchers credits the success of her students to
the parents and the “diligent teaching” of reading and writing they’ve
received from Versailles schools from their early education on.
“These students have been ingrained with the love of reading and have
been given the support needed to begin creating their own stories from
a young age,” she said. “Their talent to do that was evident in the
District competition, and we hope to continue seeing the benefits in
competition, throughout their schooling, and possibly as they choose
their careers in the future."
Rounding out the top six 8th grade individual winners are Tori Sevier,
Minster Middle School, second; Skyla Webb, Minster, third; Ryleigh
Young, St. Marys Middle School, fourth, Jacob Trent, Houston High
School, fifth; and Sarah Ham, Holy Angels School, sixth.
The top six 7th grade winners are Lynzee Keaton, Fort Loramie JHS,
first; Max Schmiesing, Holy Angels, second; Jayden Abels, Coldwater
Middle School, third; Macy Duhaime, Houston, fourth; Ava Grudich, Fort
Loramie, fifth and Lauren Menke, Versailles, sixth.
The Top 8th Grade teams are Versailles, first, Fort Loramie, second,
New Bremen, third and Coldwater, fourth. The Top 7th Grade teams are
Versailles, Fort Loramie, second, New Bremen, third and Coldwater,
fourth.
