Surprise school district crowns its best writers

Surprise, El Mirage recognize students at council meetings

The cities of Surprise and El Mirage partnered with Dysart Unified School District to invite students in grades 3 through 12 to participate in the fifth annual writing competition.

Traditionally an essay contest, this year’s challenge took a more modern approach as students were challenged to write a video script that would be 30 to 90 seconds in length when filmed.

The prompts for the scripts were, “Why I love El Mirage” and “Why I love America” in honor of America’s 250th birthday.
