It’s that time of year when students across the country sharpen their pencils and their handwriting skills to compete in the Zaner-Bloser Handwriting Contest. This contest offers students the opportunity to practice and perfect their handwriting with the potential to earn some serious bragging rights. Students in kindergarten through second grade compete in the manuscript (print) category, while students in grades three through eight compete in the cursive category.
All students write the required sentence, “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog,” because it contains every letter of the alphabet. Judges select winners based on the shape, size, spacing and slant of their letters. Following are the grade level winners from MCC. 1st Grade - Kevan Broeckel, 2nd Grade - Connor Sturges, 3rd Grade - Madi Stelter, 4th Grade - Hadley Harms, 5th Grade - Brielle Plotz, 6th Grade - Annie Scandret. Congratulations grade level winners!
