This year exactly 500 students from 25 San Francisco Archdiocese parochial schools participated and all of the essays were well written and of excellent spiritual quality. This year the students were asked to use examples and lessons from the life and writings of Saint Thomas More to craft "Ten Commandments for 7th Graders to insure success in 8th Grade".

We are pleased to report that the Place Award Recipient of $500.00 is Lisa Dimech of Saint Veronica School; the Second Place Award Recipient of $300.00 is Jack Cannice of Immaculate Heart of Mary School, Belmont; and the Third Place Award Recipient of $200.00 is Megan Kinkade of St. Patrick School in Larkspur. Each of the recipients' schools also received corresponding matching awards. Among our guests were Saint Veronica Principal Theresa Pallito, Eighth grade teacher Terry Kreutzmann, Lisa Dimech and her mother Jeanne Dimech.
