Congratulations to the winners of the LCS Writes! competition. Our students have participated in this contest for years and they know that come springtime, they have the opportunity to flex their creative writing and communication skills and express themselves.
The winners were announced this week and their works will be published in the In a Grove Integrated Arts Journal in the coming weeks. Winners also received a Chapters gift card to purchase reading materials that will inspire them to continue writing.
Congratulations, also, to all of the students who submitted their work to the contest; we admire the creative risks you took to showcase your work.
Thank you to the Grove Society who generously sponsors this contest every year. LCS Writes! would not be possible without your support.

LCS Explores
This year, LCS also held a new writing competition – LCS Explores. Mr. Rollwagen invited students to create a written piece and/or photo story about a time when they explored a new place, culture, or environment. He prompted them to share a fond memory of a trip they took, a special moment in their hometown or country, or even a memorable experience on campus.
Thank you to all of the students who submitted photos and written pieces to this initiative. Reading and looking at these submissions was akin to taking a journey.
Special recognition to the following students:
1st Place - Nicole Liu ’21
2nd Place - Julianna Cook ’21
3rd Place - Eman Murshed ’22
