PTHS Students Receive Writing Awards

Several Penn-Trafford High School students were recognized for their submissions to the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards  - Western PA Writing Project.  Participating students are members of the school’s Creative Writing Roundtable which meet monthly. 


The following Penn-Trafford students, all in grade 11, were named winners in their divisions:


Delena Steimer - Gold Key for her poem “Post-Apocalypse”

Mark Harris - Silver Key for his poem “Seersucker”

Kate Malley - Silver Key for her poem “Roommates” 

Kate Malley - Honorable Mention for her poem “Gini”


In the coming weeks, the winners will have the opportunity to read their recognized work on the Saturday Light Brigade, a weekly public radio program.  Delena Steimer's work as a gold key winner qualifies her to be considered at the national level and will be judged nationally in March.
