A Chapa Middle School 8th grader claimed the grand prize in the Southwest Water Company’s annual essay writing contest.
Sofia Caballero claimed the top prize in the contest, which had more than 150 submissions from Hays CISD middle school students. The essays were scored anonymously by a panel of Hays CISD English Language Arts teachers.
Winning students received prizes ranging from $100 to $500. Finalists were selected from Barton, Dahlstrom, McCormick, Simon and Wallace middle schools. Students from all six Hays CISD middle schools were encouraged to submit an expository essay that discussed various water-related topics that impact their life or the world today.
