The Commons article

The Commons, an independent newspaper in Windham County in southern Vermont, published excerpts from the four student winners from Bellows Falls Union High School's Literary Kick Off Student Essay Competition.

The four winning students were: Jonah Bolotin, Tori Bissell, Rachel Greenberg, and Hayden Noyes.

Each student wrote about how Loung Ung's First They Killed My Father impacted them as students in Vermont and why it is important to read Loung's story.

The students were rewarded with a signed copy of Loung Ung's second book, Lucky Child, and got to have dinner with Loung Ung.

Congratulations Jonah, Tori, Rachel, and Hayden!
