The Bookmark contest results are in! We had 142 entries this year, which means approximately half of the Hillhurst students entered. What awesome participation!! For the judging, a team of Hillhurst teachers created a short list of bookmarks for each class’s entries and the short list for each class was given to another class to choose a winner. The entr(ies) with the next highest number of votes was deemed the runner(s)-up. Everyone who entered the contest will receive his or her laminated bookmark and a small prize at book exchanges the week of Oct 30-Nov 2. We will be featuring winning bookmarks as the giveaway bookmark in the learning commons. There will be 2 featured each month. Thanks to the team of teachers for doing the first round of judging, to the teachers and students for doing the second round of judging, to Carol for laminating all the bookmarks and of course to all the students who entered the contest and shared their artistic talent with everyone!
