WHITEWATER, WI — Eleven Whitewater Unified School District students have been selected for publication in this year’s edition of “Southern Lakes Anthology.”
The annual competition showcases original art and writing from 3rd-8th grade students across more than 30 school districts in southeastern Wisconsin. The theme for this year’s anthology was “The Power Of,” with students encouraged to explore the concept through creating poetry, prose, expository writing, illustrated writing, art, and cartoons.
WUSD Advanced Learning Specialist, Caroline Nelson, described introducing the competition saying, “I love seeing students’ enthusiasm as I reveal the annual SLA theme in classes each fall. They immediately begin brainstorming ideas and making connections to their lives. This year, students were able to apply the theme “The Power Of” to concepts such as self-worth, friendship, historical achievements of women, and chemistry. I look forward to celebrating our published authors and artists at the reception taking place this Spring.”
