Writing about staying safe in the sun

Fourth grade students in Laura King’s writing classes at the Franklin County School were among the local winners of the Florida Society of Dermatology 2010 Sun Defense Essay Contest. The purpose of the contest is to educate elementary school-age children and their parents about the importance of sun safety and to promote literacy. Pictured, from left, are third place William Lee, fourth place Harper Westbrook, first place Myah Hunnings and second place Emily Owens. Five overall winners will be selected from Florida schools. Each of the awardees will receive one sun shade structure for their school.
