English - Nan Rushing Write Off
34th Annual Nan Rushing Write-off
Saturday, March 2, 2019, from 8:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
Southeast Bulloch High School
The Nan Rushing Write-off was started in 1985, by then Southeast Bulloch English language arts teacher Nan Rushing, who had received a $1,000 mini-grant from the school system to begin a writing event in Nevils. Of the 10 mini-grants awarded in 1985, by former School Superintendent Ed Wynn, the Nan Rushing Write-off and the Penny Sikes Math Tournament are the two remaining programs that have stood the test of time and offered a valuable tool for encouraging students in math and language arts. Rushing was an educator for 37 years.
The Write-Off was named in Nan Rushing's honor in 2008. Businesses and civic groups like Excelsior EMC, Brooklet Kiwanis, local banks, and others have helped support the write-off through the years after the initial grant ended.
Thank you to our sustaining partner, Barr Law Offices,LLC. Their support allows students to compete for free and it provides awards for our winners.
