St. John the Evangelist School students win essay contest

Two fifth graders from St. John the Evangelist School in Greece were among the 10 winners of a "My Favorite Older Friend" essay contest sponsored by Wesley Community, a nursing home and senior living community on East Avenue. Matt Salamone came in third place with an essay about his relationship with his grandfather, and Audra Brown received an award for "outstanding achiever." The students from Marge Mannoni's homeroom entered the contest with the encouragement of their Language Arts teacher, Julie Pizzi. The students will receive their awards during a ceremony in May at the Rochester Museum and Science Center.
