Celebrating the cream

The creativity of the students who enter our monthly Student Voices contest is evident in print and video today with our report on the reception and selection of grand-prize winners for essay writing and cartooning for the past school year. As the editor of the page and one of the judges, I can tell you it's not easy choosing the best. But it's comforting to realize there are no losers, just selecting the cream of the cream. These youngsters know how to think and write or draw.
