Each year, students have the opportunity to sign up for and attend the Youngstown State University English Festival.  Students read multiple books then compete in contests and games for monetary awards and other prizes.  This year we had several ninth grade students put the extra effort in to attend the virtual festival and they had a great time.  Many of them entered additional contests before the festival and had great success during the festival.
