How do I put this... ummm... WOW!

I just read some outstanding essays! These kids really did an excellent job in this essay contest. The only bad thing is, only one essay can win. I could throw all the names in a hat and draw a winner, they are all that good! This is gonna be a tough decision. But, I have a plan!

I plan on reading all the entries again, then I will pick what I think are the top 5. Not gonna grade spelling or grammer as much as the content. Once I pick 5, I would like to send those essays to 3 "judges" the judges will not know the writers name, just essay #?. Those three judges will pick their favorite essay and notify me of their picks. Out of those top 3 essays, I will have secret mystery judge pick the winner.

With that being said, I need three volunteers. If your kid or u know a kid that sent in an essay, I ask that you not volunteer to be a judge.
