Kenleigh Winterton Receives Multiple Awards
For the second year in a row, Kenleigh Winterton has been recognized by The Rev Theatre Co.’s Echoes program, one of the largest middle school writing competitions in the United States.
The Echoes program visits schools to promote the arts in education and the positive impact it can have on students and their communities. After participating in a classroom workshop, students in grades 6-8 submit creative writing pieces for the chance to be included in Echoes’ spring production. Those selected will have their work brought to life with costumes, props, and musical instruments. The resulting show is a unique experience, featuring at least one author’s work from every participating school.
Each year, as many as 4,000 creative writing pieces are submitted from schools throughout the state. Kenleigh Winterton’s poem was selected amongst the many submissions to be featured in the show. She was also recognized by The Rev Theatre Co. with two awards: one for her submission and another for creative writing. Congratulations Kenleigh!
