On May 20, 2016, Stillpoint School student Celine Kuru received a certificate at the State Capitol in recognition of her selection as an Honorable Mention letter writer in the Letters About Literature contest!

Celine had previously been chosen as a State Semifinalist for the letter she wrote to author Kate Klimo. In the final round of judging in Washington state, Celine’s letter was selected by the L.A.L. judges as one of eight Honorable Mention letter writers.

As a 4th grader, Celine’s letter was judged against 1,575 letters submitted by 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students throughout Washington State.

The awards ceremony was held in the Columbia Room in the State Capitol. Congratulations, Celine!
