Over 700 area teens entered the Dottie Yeck Good Life Award Writing Contest. See if your school was represented.
The judges are independent community professionals, including university professors, authors, journalists, and retired teachers. All essays were judged twice with no identifying student information and scores were averaged.
This endowment-funded contest was developed in memory of Dorothy R. Yeck.
