Annabelle Olagbegi '32 Wins Writing Contest

Before even beginning her journey at Thomas Jefferson School this fall, Annabelle Olagbegi '32 is already making her mark!

Annabelle's piece, "Pulsating," was selected as the Grades 6–8 winner in the Missouri Botanical Garden and Gateway Writing Project's Write Outside Your Door writing contest. Chosen from more than 140 submissions, her writing stood out to the judges for its creativity and excellence.

Annabelle was recognized at the Green Living Festival at the Missouri Botanical Garden on Saturday, July 11, where she received a certificate of excellence and a complimentary one-year membership to the Missouri Botanical Garden.

We are thrilled to welcome Annabelle to the TJ community this fall as a member of the Class of 2032 and congratulate her on this outstanding accomplishment. We can't wait to see where her talent and creativity take her next!
