A number of Tenacre Country Day School fifth graders, including seven Wellesley residents, were recognized for their essays in the annual Will McDonough Writing Contest, named in honor of the legendary Boston Globe sportswriter. Over 1,200 students in grades 4 – 12 from across New England participated in the contest. The winners are chosen by Globe sports editors.

All Tenacre fifth-graders submitted a 400-word essay to the contest as part of a class writing assignment.
