  • Ready Writing Tournament

    Posted by Coach Sanks on 3/25/2022

    Enrique Montanez, Vianet Garcia, Mya Mendez, Benicia Galvez, Verenice Torres, and Belle Galvez all competed in UIL Ready Writing, an event that requires students to write extemporaneously on a given prompt. For most, it was their first time competing, and all did well! Mya Mendez placed sixth overall, which is a huge accomplishment at such a big tournament. Congratulations to all of our Ready Writers!
