/PRNewswire/ The Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) today announced the Class of 2021 Young Investigator Award recipients totaling nearly $6.5 million in.
Her perseverance has paid off.
She recently earned the distinction of having the best cursive handwriting among 5th graders in all of Minnesota’s estimated 600+ private schools.
Known as the 2021 Zaner-Bloser National Handwriting Contest, the contest is now in its 30th year. It includes categories for both public and private schools.
Hansen, 11, is a student of teacher Brook Spaulding.
Spaulding said it’s an honor that the winner came from her classroom, but she can’t take any credit for Hansen’s beautiful handwriting, instilled by teachers in earlier grades.
Hansen learned cursive from second grade teacher Barb Volla.
“She wrote it down on the board, and we copied it, and it was really fun,” Hansen said.
