City charter school sweeps MLK essay competition

City Springs Elementary/Middle School swept a recent Martin Luther King Essay Writing Contest hosted by the Baltimore Urban Debate League and Walter's Art Museum. According to a release from the Baltimore Curriculum Project, the school took first and third place in the elementary division and first, second, and third place in the middle school division of the Essay Writing Contest.

Essays can be read here: City Springs Winning MLK Essays, or spend part of your day off on Monday, Jan. 17 to travel to the Walters Art Museum to hear essay contest winners read their pieces at 12:00 p.m as part of the museum's free MLK Jr. Family Festival.

They are truly impressive.

Having read a few of these essays already, I can testify to their winning ways. Congratulations, City Springs teachers and students for their creativity; it is great to read a new perspective on a well-traveled topic.
