2021 Young Authors
Picture
The Monroe-Randolph Young Authors’ Conference is a celebration of the written work of children in kindergarten through eighth grade.  The purpose of the conference is to support classroom teachers in their effort to encourage and to improve students’ abilities in writing, reading, listening and sharing, and to recognize the accomplishments of young authors.  The Young Authors’ Conference emphasizes language as a vehicle for communication with others.  The Monroe-Randolph Regional Office of Education regrets not being able to hold an In Person Conference this year. However, we are excited to share with you the students who submitted works as this year's Young Authors. 

 Jeff Blair, host of The People Speak program on WHCO, reads a selection of students' stories below! Jeff is a voice actor that narrate books, does cartoon voices  and animated movie voice-overs. Stories that have been read will have a hyper-link on the story title.  If you would like to get in touch with Jeff, you can visit his Facebook page
 or Email him.​
Click below to hear Kelton Davis, Regional Superintendent of Schools, interview Jeff about his voice work.
