Congratulations to Grafton Middle School's six winners of the 9th annual 2010 Holocaust Writing Competition sponsored by the United Jewish Community in Newport News. "The main goal of the writing competition is to encourage students to apply the lessons of history to the moral decisions they make today." These students, from Jill Barnes’ advanced English class, will receive recognition at the annual Holocaust Memorial Day observance on Sunday, April 11th at the Jewish Community Center in Newport News. Grafton Middle is proud to be represented by these talented writers!
