She plans to teach for two more years and, although it’s a big task, also plans to have those future classes enter the contest. Like most things in life, the biggest challenge is getting them to take that first step toward becoming authors.
“They really seem to embrace the project once they get started,” Bernato said.
She said students in her classes have received several honorable mentions over the contest’s history, and her son, who participated in it, went to the national contest level.
“We’re still waiting for someone (from the class) to become a famous author someday,” she said.
A Pymatuning Valley third-grader, Jessica Jenick, won second place in this year’s contest for her book, “Elton and the Bully.” A story about Jessica will be in this Sunday’s Neighborhood section.
