Awards for the John Miller Writing Contest

















John Miller, USAP sent us these wonderful large and mounted photos as awards for our first-ever writing contest here at St. Vincent de Paul-ALC. Several students wrote about life in a tent in Antarctica; this was based on John Miller's real life adventure of re-enacting life in a tent (over one night) in the exact replica of the Amundsen-Scott tent. The second place award went to Aaron Hawthorne; he received a photo of the replica tent. Aaron is a former member of Louisiana Green Corps which is a part of AmeriCorps. Jennie Gorden won the first place prize which is a photo of the large telescope at South Pole Station and the Aurora Australis (Southern Lights). It was presented to her by Sr. Kathleen.
Congratulations to all and thanks again to John Miller.
