Wordmasters Competition
A student representing Timothy Christian Schools recently won highest honors in this year's WordMasters Challenge - a national language arts competition entered by over 220,000 students annually, which consists of three separate meets held at intervals during the school year.
Competing in the difficult Blue Division, fifth grader Adrian Van Stee earned a perfect score in this year's third meet, held in December. In the entire country, only 130 fifth graders earned perfect scores at this level. Other students at the school who also achieved outstanding results in the meet included sixth graders Jillian Burg, Nathaniel Yurschak and Tracy Westra. The students were coached in preparation for the Challenge by Miss Abby Wiers and Mrs. Alicia Dyke.
The WordMasters Challenge has been administered for the past 25 years by a company based in Allendale, New Jersey, which is dedicated to inspiring high achievement in American schools. The students will participate in two more WordMasters meet during the coming months and medals and certificates will be awarded in June to those who achieved and/or improved the most in the course of the year.
Congratulations to all!
