As sisters, Kelly Maguire and Anne Sanford have competed for recognition throughout their years.

The native Arizonans graduated from the same elementary and high schools. Although nearly 10 years apart in age, they both sought degrees in education: McGuire from the University of Arizo­na, and Sanford from Grand Canyon Uni­versity.

On Sept. 13, Maguire, who teaches English at Bios Christian Academy in Gilbert, and Sanford, an English teacher at St.Francis Xavier Elementary in Phoenix, both honored students who won an essay contest titled “Letters About Literature” for students in Grades 4-12.

More than 49,000 students from across the country entered the contest.

Maguire’s winners were McKenna Crawford and Kaylee Phillips while San­ford’s winning student was Johnny Van­derwey.
