Congratulations to St. Mary's High School in Lynn, MA!
English teacher Stacy Drector recently led the school in participating in the National Catholic Schools Haiku Contest sponsored by the NCEA.

Drector told her class, "You don't know if you're going to win, but you should always try, and if you don't win, you still tried!"

The seasoned educator remarked on Male's accomplishment as a "great achievement," emphasizing that of her class of 102, she was only able to submit 8 poems for consideration, and Male was selected as one of the winners.

Male's winning entry is included on the second slide.

🎓🎓🎓“What is nobler than to rule minds or to mold the character of the young? I consider that he who knows how to form the youthful mind is truly greater than all the painters, sculptors, and all others of that sort.” — St. John Chrysostom 🌟🌟🌟
