NORTHFIELD — New Hampshire and Vermont students under the age of 12 were challenged to tell a love story using only two sentences this past winter. This story could be about anything, anywhere, or anyone the student loves. Southwick School students in Lisa Murphy’s kindergarten class submitted entries and Cian McCormack was awarded first prize in his age group.
“Cian just loves baseball, so his story came to him naturally for his entry. He was so excited to see that his prize included several books about his favorite topic,” she said.
The Children’s Literacy Foundation is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to inspire a love of reading and writing among children up to age 12 throughout New Hampshire and Vermont. Since 1998, CLiF has served over 350,000 children at higher risk of growing up with low literacy skills in communities across every region of the Twin States.
