Dear Proud Parents and the Amazing Students of the Big Apple Academy!

Last school year 2019 – 2020, our first and second graders participated in the Once Upon A Dream contest.  Due to the pandemic, the contest results were delayed until now. Young Writers and the Big Apple Academy would like to thank you for your patience and understanding, and we are thrilled to be able to share some good news!

It is my pleasure to inform you that 179 poems out of 206 entries written by our students were chosen to be published in Once Upon A Dream 2020 – Future Echoes. Having work published is a fantastic way to inspire kids to become confident and passionate writers. 

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR SUCCESS and KEEP ON WRITING!!!
