Hannah Lynn Owens, a fifth grade student and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chuck Owens, has been named a State Grade-Level Winner. Zaner-Bloser estimates that over 325,000 students participated in this year’s contest. As a State Grade-Level Winner, Hannah will now be eligible to compete for a National Grade-Level Winner Title. Students who advance beyond that stage of the contest will then be entered to compete for a Grand National Grade-Level Champion title. All schools with Grand National winners will be notified in May, 2012.

Congratulations, Hannah!
