Lakotafest writing contest honorable mentions
The third Lakotafest writing contest has just wrapped up, and we selected the winners today. I sifted through stacks of entries, paring them down to the best. Then, I polled the office staff and anyone else who would sit and read the selections. It was a tough call, but we selected six winners. You will get to see those in next week’s Pulse Journal. But, for now, I want to share with you some honorable mentions.
The Birds and the Hawks By Amanda Weisbrod Age 14, grade 8
We fly high, out of reach from our sisters. The Comets, as hard as they try, cannot meet our Excellence. Cowardly, are the Lions compared to the Bravery, we hold in our hearts. Because we, come together, from the East and the West, To stand tall; stand strong. We are Lakota, The Birds and the Hawks.
The Mirror of Excellence Patrick O’Connor Grade 7, age 12
The Mirror of Excellence It reflects all of us, showing our hearts, souls and minds reflected through us.
Reflecting Lakota’s excellence Really isn’t hard Just show it through anywhere You decide to go
Anythign you want to do Doctor, Lawyer, Author Can be done When your heart shows through
Be good to people And follow the golden rule: Treat others the way you want to be treated And you’ll reflect Lakota’s excellence
Do your work And be yourself And anything is possible And this is showing Lakota’s excellence
Lakota’s excellence Sines through us all The students, the community, Everyone
Make the right decisions And don’t get hit by peer pressure And you will shine on And show Lakota’s excellence
Break your old bad habits And reform, reshape, redo Getting it right is good But learning from mistakes is better
These are what Lakota teaches And what I do everyday You can do these too, And show Lakota’s excellence.
