DOVER—
St. Thomas students Ellen Bruton, Ashley Puffer, Jake Horne, Mike Dunbar, Anna Domings, Candice Ellis, and Alison Hiatt all showed that words live a more powerful life coming from the heart and mind of an imaginative and impassioned reader. Senior Mike Dunbar of Hampton, NH was named 2nd Runner-up, sophomore Anna Domings of Merrimac, MA was named 1st Runner-up, and senior Ashley Puffer of Kittery, ME was named the winner. As the contest winner, Ashley, and the first alternate, Anna Domings, were awarded merit scholarships from New England College--$15,000—and the University of South New Hampshire--$11,000 respectively should they decide to attend those schools. Ashley and Anna will go on to participate in the NH semi-final competition in March at the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, and then hopefully on to the State and National finals in April.
