The winners are posted. Please use the lists to alert students and parents to save the date for the LAD Fair, the last Saturday in April. Please understand that these lists are for informative and preparative purposes and are not intended as a press release. Volunteer judges and data entry individuals translate and transfer an enormous amount of information on the judging day so mistakes are made, despite our best efforts. Therefore, teachers, please make your corrections before submitting your results to school and community media. Thank you all for participating! There were nearly 7000 entries this year!

It is with great sadness that we inform all members and friends of the LAD community of the passing of Charlie Collins.

We are grateful for Charlie’s hard work, support, and dedication to LAD, the organization his wife Joan founded and built into a community of people dedicated to promoting the written and spoken word for students kindergarten to senior year.
