Ross students wield the Power of the Pen

By Richard O Jones | Tuesday, March 2, 2010, 03:50 PM

After being rescheduled three times due to weather, the Ross Middle School Power of the Pen team was finally able to compete at the district tournament on Friday, Feb. 26, at Blanchester Middle School.

Power of the Pen is the school’s competitive writing club, which consists of seventh and eighth grade writers.

At the competition, writers are given three different prompts and are scored with a holistic rubric based on the creativity and quality of their writing.

Seventh grade team members include Olivia Meinzer, Carrie Vennefron, Brittany Welch, Audrey Schlembach, Nikki Schum, and Jackie Wesselman.

Eighth grader writers are Diane Hoffman, Tara Griffin, Erica Eppert, Samantha Walker, Carolyn Conrad, Emma Demopoulos, and Devon Swanson.

Hoffman and Vennefron qualified to compete at the regional tournament on Saturday, March 13, at Princeton Middle School.
