🖊️📖 Original Voices from Gallup: A Collection of Essays, Poems and Autobiographies
This incredible book features original essays, poems, and autobiographical pieces—all ✍️ handwritten, 🎨 artist-illustrated, and ✅ carefully reviewed for authenticity, originality, plagiarism, and AI-generated content. Rooted in ELA learning standards, this project celebrates the power of student voice and the heart of the writing process 💙
🎉 What made it even sweeter? The book arrived fully published before school leadership even knew! After the big reveal, Principal Jeffrey Hartog, Assistant Principal Taylor Ramirez, and Dean Joshua Benyola proudly recognized each student-author with certificates 👏🏽📜
📦 The anthology was published by Studentreasures Publishing (Topeka, Kansas) and represents a major milestone for both our students and the Miyamura High School community.
🏆📘 As published authors, students also receive automatic entry into the National Book Challenge, with prizes including:
💰 $5,000 school grant (1st place)
💰 $1,000 (2nd place)
💰 $500 (3rd place)
🎁 $50 gift cards for 50 national finalists
