(Oldenburg, Ind.) – An Oldenburg Academy sophomore has a gift for writing.

Kenlee Martin was recently named the winner of the Mount St. Joseph University personal essay writing contest.

Each year, Mount St. Joseph University invites high school sophomores from around the Greater Cincinnati area to submit writing pieces in fiction, personal essay, or poetry.
