Sophomore Anna Munson named writing contest winner second year in a row
On Tuesday, April 18, Pecatonica High School sophomore Anna Munson was honored at the 98th Annual Rockford Woman’s Club Creative Writing Contest luncheon. Back in March, Anna submitted two pieces of writing: a poem and a short story. Both of her creative writing pieces were chosen as two of ten finalists out of more than 120 writing submissions from students in the greater Rockford area.
Anna, her parents, and her former Language Arts teacher Mrs. Johnson attended the luncheon with the eight other finalists, their families and teachers, and members of the Rockford Woman’s Club. Each student read their poem or work of prose and received a $50 scholarship.
At the end of the event, Rockford Woman’s Club President Nancy Whitlock announced that Anna was the grand prize winner of the Genevieve B. Taxon Award, which includes a $1,000 scholarship, for her work of prose “The Peculiarity of Walter Browns.” This marks the second year in a row in which Anna’s writing has won the Rockford Woman’s Club Creative Writing Contest’s grand prize.

Pec HS Key Club is holding a pet photo contest to raise money for Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary & CARE for PETS, two awesome organizations focused on the welfare of local animals. Last week, students & staff made donations to submit photos of their pet(s) in four different categories: Cutest Dog, Not a Dog but it's Sure Cute, Best .5 Photo, & So Ugly it's Cute. We received some great pictures! On Monday & Tuesday, students & staff will be able to vote for their favorite photos by making a donation.
We're opening the donating/voting to our family & friends outside of school, too! Each vote is a $1 donation, and you can vote as many times as you'd like! Be sure to leave the name of the pet you're voting for.
