Bios Christian Academy was well represented at the 27th Martin Luther King essay contest sponsored by ASU. There were over 1,200 entrees in this local writing contest. From first grader Micah reading about his neighbor who travels Guatemala serving the poor, to Faith in third grade talking about a blanket ministry to orphans, the six winners from Bios, out of a total of twelve possible winners K-12, elicited the comment from the master of ceremonies, "They must be doing something right at Bios." Before the awards ceremony, I was able to enjoy a nice breakfast at ASU West with the students, teachers, and the families from the six Bios Christian Academy winners. A crowd of over 1,000 people enjoyed a wonderful celebration of the principles and ideas of Dr. Martin Luther King. The student's essays had been mounted on stands and these were placed around the room for all to view. Inspiring speeches, enjoyable music and thought-provoking speeches by community activists made for an enjoyable morning.
Congratulations to Mrs. Halbison, Mrs. Kountz, and Mrs. Maguire and their students Chloe Martin, twelfth grade; Faith Pikula, third grade; Anna Sholink, third grade; Ashlynn Kooima, second grade; Elon Still, second grade; and Micah Vasey, first grade. Each student was given a savings bond valued at between $75-150 depending on whether they won first, second, or third place.
