I just learned that the selection committee for The Best Non-Fiction Writing: Hinsdale Central 2011 has finished the very difficult job of selecting the very best non-fiction writing from the 165+ submissions they received. Teachers on the selection committee commented to me that they were very impressed with the improved quality of the entries, which made their job even harder this year. Senior Peter Bernardi is currently working on the design and layout of the manuscript. The book comes out in early fall. Each selected student will receive a complimentary book. Additionally, we send books to the HC library and local public libraries. Congratulations to all of the following students!
