Overton Elementary
The Catholic Daughters of America honored Sacred Heart students last week during a 2018 Education Awards ceremony. These award are given at the local, state and national level. All the school’s first place at the state level will go onto to the National Competition.
Each year Catholic Daughters of the Americas sponsors a National Education Contest. Court Sacred Heart #1759 participates in this contest yearly. Students compete in their choice of categories including art, essay, poetry, computer art, music and photography in three divisions.
The local courts winning entries are submitted to the state level. Those winning entries are then submitted for the national contest. This year’s theme was Psalms 126, “The Lord has done great things for us, we are filled with joy,” and, “Finding joy in my life.”
The following student entries will be competing at the national level at the 57th Biennial National CDA Convention, Sioux Falls, SD, July 17-22:
Tony Frank, division I, computer art; Bree Whittington, division II, essay; Matt Frank, division III, photography; Barney Malloy, division III, poetry and division III, essay.
