Wonder Essay Contest Winner

Congratulations to Southside Elementary student Alexis Childs for winning the Wonder Essay Contest. The contest is based on the book “Wonder” by R.J. Palacio. Wendelyn Osborne worked with the Arkansas Department of Education to develop the essay contest for students in K-12th grade. The students were asked to write an essay on teaching others to choose to be kind. 

This is the second year for the contest and there was a winner from Cabot and one from Bentonville.
