Franklin Middle School 8th Grader Emily Lopez won a state and national financial essay writing contest. To her right is family friend James Malwitz, who inspired her choice of a non-profit organization to spotlight in her essay.
A township 8th Grader’s essay on money management for a non-profit organization won her first place in a state and national competition.
Emily Lopez had no idea that she’d won, up until the point when her name was called out in the Franklin Middle School library in a surprise ceremony on March 13. She was surrounded by her classmates, who burst into cheers and applause when she was named the winner, and joined by her parents and other family members, who were hiding among the library’s stacks.
