RCDS Student Named Finalist in New York Times International Writing ContestAmong thousands of students from all over the world, Rumson Country Day School eighth grader Chloe Melconian was selected as a finalist for the New York Times personal narrative contest with her entry “The Last Piece.” This fall, the New York Times invited teenagers to write memoirs about meaningful moments in their lives in just 100 words. “I love to write,” Melconian said. “My goal is to prepare my students to be confident communicators,” said RCDS language arts teacher Carolyn Mulholland. Her writing represents her beautiful soul.”Chloe plans to pursue her passion for writing in high school by joining clubs or school newspapers that are available to students.
