FetchYoursNews Visits Mountain Area Christian Academy for 3rd Grade Writing Challenge

Mountain Area Christian Academy participated in the FetchYourNews 3rd grade writing challenge. The winners for the writing challenge were Peyton Nelson and Olivia Temples.

These children received prizes from local sponsors and the entire class was provided plenty of pencils and an ice cream cone each for their participation. The question for this round of competitions was, “How to cook a turkey.” The children were excited and it was clear that many had put a lot of time and effort into their essays. FYN’s was impressed with them all! CEO, Brian K. Pritchard spoke to the children regarding reading, writing and the importance of internet safety.

Special thanks go to the children for their hard work and their teacher, Ms. Debbie Galloway.

Thank you to the following sponsors who contributed to the writing challenge:

Mercier Orchards
Dairy Queen
Blue Ridge Pharmacy
Vernie Jones Ford
Aaron’s
Dr. Craig T.Ajmo, DDS – Mountain Dental Association.

FYN’s is looking forward to visiting with the children again in February.
