Woman’s Press Club of IN Honors Lawrence Journalism Students

Lawrence Township’s high schools have captured two top awards in the 2009 high school journalism competition sponsored by the Woman’s Press Club of Indiana.

First-place winners are Lawrence Central’s Michael Sicely and Carly Strobel in cartoons and Lawrence North’s Lauren Kreigh in feature photography.

Other Lawrence Central winners are Amanda Bowman, Eric Rees, Sean Jordan, Kevin Gardner, Laura Spears, Lierin Ehmke and Mykel Kennedy.

Other Lawrence North winners are Rosemary Pritchett-Montavon, Rachel Stenger, Nicole Burts, Kelsey Olson, Katharine Rinker, Scott Archer, Elise Pentz, Kristin Olson, Hannah Parry and Sam Dicken.

All of the students are listed on a new calendar created by WPCI. Because the contest has 14 categories, the school-year calendar has 14 months – May 2009 to June 2010.

Each month features photos promoting sights in the county of the top winner’s school. Kreigh’s name is boldly featured on the November 2009 page with photos of the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art; Sicely’s and Strobel’s names are boldly featured on the May 2010 page with photos of the Indianapolis 500 Parade.

A limited number of calendars are available from WPCI. A complete listing of state winners as well as calendar order information is available by clicking on “News” on the organization’s website, www.wpcindiana.org.
