Regional Winner - Nicolas Sclafani

Nicolas Sclafani - George Keverian School, Everett

"My ideal school would be a school in Everett. Three things that I love about my school are my teachers, reading and seeing my friends. All of my teachers would inspire and encourage me to do my best in school. They’d be very nice. They’ll help me to learn how to read and write. I’d be very thankful for their hard work and dedication. They would help me through first grade. Reading is my favorite subject at my school. I like reading books about dinosaurs! Silent reading is my favorite part of the day at school. Reading inspires me to learn so there would be libraries for every grade! Lastly, seeing my friends in school makes me happy. They inspire me to be my best so I can be a role model for them. I’d have an extra playground to play with them. I love my school and I am happy to go there everyday!"
