Valley Stream fifth-grader honored for winning essay

Posted

Kevin Tritschler, a fifth-grader at Robert W. Carbonaro Elementary School, was honored for winning third-place for the Most Philosophical Fifth-Grader in America at a Village of Valley Stream Board of Trustees meeting on Nov. 19.

The Kids Philosophy Slam is a nationwide annual competition that gives third- through fifth-grade students an opportunity to learn more about philosophy. More than 4,000 students submitted artwork, short stories, poems and essays about the topic “Truth or Deceit: Which has a Greater Impact on Society” to the slam.

“Kevin, being recognized amongst thousands of entries is a truly great accomplishment,” Mayor Ed Fare said.

He and the board of trustees then presented Tritschler a citation in recognition of his accomplishment.
