Local Junior High 2012 WWE Reading Challenge WINNER, Josh, won an all expense paid trip for two to Miami, Florida in April to compete in the National Reading Challenge. Josh wrote a 100 word persuasive letter (to convince WWE star Randy Ortman to read Tom Sawyer). His letter won Regionals. Josh was one of fifteen other Junior/Senior High students across the US and Canada who went to Miami to compete in a Quiz Bowl about the book After Tupac and D Foster. Great Effort, Josh! The WWE Nationals was "Awesome" and Josh personally met many WWE stars! The WWE Wrestlemania XXVIII was WAY COOL, too! |
