I'm proud to announce that  Jahanavi Gaur (Class of '16) is the English Department's Student of the Quarter. She was selected by her AP Language and Composition teacher, Gina Chandler. When Mrs. Chandler introduced Jahanavi at the Student of the Quarter Breakfast this morning, she spoke about a fantastic online educational tool that Jahanvai created.

When she was a freshman, in response to a English class assignment, Jahanavi began a blog called the “Dream to Write” project, in which she partnered with schools in India to guide them through an exploration of different forms of writing. Her goal is to provide enrichment for students in India who require advanced writing challenges but who lack the requisite resources in their current schools.   Jahanavi created a curriculum with instruction and assignments on her blog and provides feedback to students through the blog. It is truly inspirational, an exceptional example of dedication to the craft of writing.
