EAU CLAIRE — The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire's chapter of Golden Key International Honour Society held its annual fourth-grade essay contest in April.

All fourth-graders in the Eau Claire Area School District were invited to submit responses to a guided essay question. The essays were judged by Golden Key Honour Society members and winners were selected based on creativity and ingenuity.

The winners were:

Additionally, Eau Claire's fourth-graders enjoy and recognize the importance of writing while taking steps toward improving their literacy.
