Power Of The Pen
On Feb. 15, nine of Berkshire’s brightest writers competed at the Power of the Pen district meet at Andrews Osborne Academy. Seventeen schools from Northeast Ohio met to compete in three rounds of creative writing.
Berkshire writers Emily Dingman, Clark Jackson, Kaitlin McFadden, Aiden Burkley, Karsten Bergmeier, Abby Clark, Alli Dingman, Georgia Schiewe and Ashlynn Womack responded to prompts such as, “The worst is yet to come” and “One has a view that is very compelling. Describe it.”
Congratulations goes to Emily Dingman who won a best-of-round award and to Ashlynn Womack who placed fifth overall.
Actively Caring for People
This school year, the Actively Caring for People students have been hard at work developing a five-week program to teach to middle school physical education and health classes. The program will run until March 5 and includes lessons and interactive activities on character strengths such as belonging, gratitude and courage, to name a few.
The AC4P high school coaches keep in contact and receive guidance from college students from Virginia Tech, where the AC4P concept originated. Berkshire AC4P students are very enthusiastic and invested in the program. Every middle school student involved in this program, as well as the AC4P high school coaches, are benefiting and making a positive change in the school.
