2004 Writing Showcase & Authors' Night


On Tuesday, April 13th, the Fontana Unified School District hosted its 14th Annual Writing Showcase.  Teachers from Fontana elementary, middle and high schools submitted samples of their students' best writing and these works were judged by grade level and category.  Judges looked primarily for creativity, clarity, and variety of written expression, and the presence of an original and distinctive author's voice.

Winning works were awarded red ribbons and the students were invited to attend Author's Night on Monday, April 19th, where they read their winning entry, and were awarded medals of recognition.
