Each category has sub categories and involves grades K-12 and adults. All works must be original works by students and copyright free.<br \/>\nHope students hopped onboard back in October and began planning their strategies for making entries to this competition. Some tried their hand at writing books, others scoured hundreds of photographs for just the right choice, while others began devising a way to work with film. In the end, Hope students submitted over a dozen entries to the Ididacontest in several different categories.<br \/>\nFollowing their hard work, Hope brought home three prizes, raking in $200 in cash donated by Ididacontest sponsors. Ryker Skaaren and Wesli Dykstra won first place for their documentary, \u201cYour First Step to Learning About Alaska\u2019s Owls\u201d, Liam Bureau took home first place for his photo, \u201cBug\u201d, and Murphy Dykstra and Ryker Skaaren landed third place for their ebook, \u201cMurphy and Ryder\u2019s Book of Poems\u201d. So, yes, right now, bugs, owls, and superheroes are quite popular in the Hope area.<br \/>\nIf you would like to view these winning entries and others from around the state, visit <a href=\"ididacontest.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.ididacontest.org<\/a>.<br \/>\nStory contributed by Terri Carter<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/communications.blogs.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/wpmu\/files\/2016\/03\/Hope-ASTEWinners.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2534\" src=\"http:\/\/communications.blogs.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/wpmu\/files\/2016\/03\/Hope-ASTEWinners-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Hope ASTEWinners\" width=\"517\" height=\"290\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What does Hope have to do with owls, bugs, and superheroes?
