Delphi Academy of Florida Student Named State Champion in Zaner-Bloser National Handwriting Contest

Norman Egloff, third grader at Delphi Academy of Florida, was recently recognized as the Florida State Champion in the National Handwriting Contest.

The National Handwriting Contest, sponsored by Zaner-Bloser Educational Publishers, the leading publisher of handwriting materials, recognizes state and national champions in a contest that evaluates handwriting legibility.

As State Champion, Egloff, his teacher Lucy Hughes and Delphi Academy Headmaster Colin Taufer received engraved wooden pens, a special award certificate and a $50 gift certificate for Zaner-Bloser materials.

Egloff will go on to compete against other State Champions for the title of National Champion in the third grade. A Grand National Champion is selected from all entries.

For the past fourteen years Zaner-Bloser has sponsored the National Handwriting Contest to emphasize the importance of developing good handwriting skills. This year, more than 140,000 students participated in the contest nationwide.

Zaner-Bloser Educational Publishers, founded in 1888, is the nation's leading publisher of handwriting programs for students in grades K-9 and is the handwriting program that Delphi Academy uses.
