Marlborough Junior Women's Club Essay Contest

The Marlborough Junior Women’s Club recently sponsored a writing contest to honor teachers as part of National Teacher Appreciation Day May 6. 

Students were asked to write an essay or poem in response to one of these two questions: “What makes your teacher so good at their job?” or “How does your teacher inspire you?” 

Sophomore Jeffrey Slocomb wrote the winning essay about MHS STEM teacher Megan Fenneuff, and both were invited to be recognized at the June 24, School Committee meeting where Slocomb read his essay and Fanneuff was presented with a $50 check for use in her classroom.
