First Fun Friday post of the summer!
This is about a FANTASTIC student, Chloe McPhie!
"To Be Young" Magazine's Ryan Mote reached out to OJH to participate in a history essay competition for the inaugural Young County's Junior High History Essay Contest.
The entire 7th grade submitted essays to Coach Thompson and Mrs. Sullivan and, after thorough review, our history teachers sent off 17 papers to the final round to be judged by Jim Hammond and the Young County Historical Society.
OJH challenged our student to write about history focused on Olney. Of all the students who participated in this contest, our own Chloe McPhie took 1st place!
