Cabell County students win DOE contest

HUNTINGTON -- Two of the three students to win a West Virginia Department of Education video contest are from Cabell County.

The winners of "What are you reading, West Virginia?" were announced last week and include Marea Jaydn Pennell, a first-grader at Barboursville Elementary; Selena Franklin, an eighth-grader at Beverly Hills Middle School; and Marissa Miluk, a sophomore at Greenbrier East High School. Each will receive a Kindle for their efforts.

The winners were chosen from about 80 entries. Students were asked to create a three-minute video about reading. The videos could feature characters from their favorite book, interviews with friends, or just share their own reading experiences.

"The idea of the video contest was to reach as many West Virginia children as possible to help them understand the importance of reading every day," said West Virginia Superintendent of Schools Jorea Marple. "It's not enough to just be able to recognize words. I want all West Virginia children to develop a love for reading that will last a lifetime. These kids have done that."

The video contest is part of the Department of Education's Read WV project to promote literacy and encourage children and adults to read daily. The department is partnering with Read Aloud, public libraries and other literacy organizations to help young people read more and read well.

In the high school division, freshman Katie Norman of Huntington High School finished second. Senior Dylan Hahn of Hedgesville High School in Berkeley County was third.

In the middle school division, sixth-grader Rhiannon Macom of Wellsburg Middle School in Brooke County was second. Sixth-grader Michaela Young of Poca Middle School in Putnam County was third.

In the elementary school division, fourth-grader Christopher Price of Shepherdstown Elementary in Jefferson County was second. Second-grader Hunter Wamlesy of Lewisburg Elementary in Greenbrier County was third.

Creators of the winning videos will receive their Kindles at the July meeting of the West Virginia Board of Education in Charleston. Second- and third-place finishers will receive certificates and also be invited to attend the board meeting to receive them. Winning videos were judged on originality, creativity, adherence to the theme and overall quality.
