Eighth-grade Amity Middle School Orange student Monica Chen has been named the grand prize winner in Junior Scholastic’s “Can you Find Mapman?” contest. There were approximately 2,000 entries in the contest. Chen was runner-up last year and was encouraged by family and teachers to enter again this year. She participated in this yearly contest by figuring out Mapman’s destination, which was Barbados. She then had to create a map of the Caribbean nation. Each year a different location is chosen, then submitted to Junior Scholastic in New York City. Chen and her social studies teacher, Jennifer Marganski, will each receive $250.
