WPS Student Awarded in Anne Arundel Peace Action Writing Contest
Berlin, MD – Worcester Preparatory School (WPS) 9th grader, Hayden Wagner, was awarded third place in a statewide writing contest sponsored by Anne Arundel Peace Action, Maryland Peace Action Education Fund, Benjamin Peace Foundation, and Annapolis Friends Meeting.
Sponsored by WPS Middle School English teacher, Mrs. Megan Leslie, Hayden submitted an essay last year in 8th grade, answering the contest question, “What role has social media played in your life? Do you think that it has been a mostly positive or negative force—and why? Has social media contributed to or obstructed world peace?”
Hayden was awarded 3rd place out of 161 entries statewide. Along with the other winners, Hayden was recognized during a ceremony at the Annapolis Jazz & Roots Festival at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church on November 3 in Annapolis, Maryland. She received a cash prize.
