Congratulations to the Tillicum students who were recognized on May 19 for winning awards at Escribo en Español, a Spanish literary contest held at the University of Washington.

Non-native division:
- Marit Wineke – 1st place
- Kenzie Chen – 2nd place
- Alexandria Park – 3rd place
Native division:
- Maximiliano González – 2nd place

Students who placed were awarded a certificate and Spanish books.
