3rd Place General News: “Compassion at all grade levels.”: Dan Bates/The Herald (Everett) and heraldnet.com; Skyline Elementary School students stop playing in a fresh snowfall during recess so they can greet and talk to a favorite teacher, Brad Hodge, who comes outside on his first day back to work since losing one of his legs in a serious automobile accident.

Judges’ comments for the category

Great catch in turning a routine assignment into something more for the first and second place winners. It was nice to find humor in a sad situation in the second place winner. We liked the quiet tension in the third place photo, though we wish the girl in the center was not part of the frame.
