Eighth grade IB MYP (International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme) students presented their end-of-year community service projects before a panel of judges on May 1.<\/p>\n
Julia Bueno ’23 <\/strong>and Lucia Rose Dahn ’23<\/strong> created an informative website to teach creative writing. “Around the world, there is a strong need for writers, as writing is the basis for communication and it is a skill that can help others improve their vocabulary and grammar,” said Lucia. “The main community that we would be serving is the online community of middle schoolers who are aspiring writers and understand English.”<\/p>\n Both Julia and Lucia are emerging authors. Together, they’ve written a 300-page novel titled A Cage of Thorns. <\/i>The girls have also written books individually. Lucia authored Cause of the Dark<\/i> and Julia wrote Watchman<\/i>. Julia is also the recipient of the Gold Key National Scholastic Award for her flash fiction short Phonophobia<\/i>. She will travel to Carnegie Hall in June to receive her award.<\/p>\n
