Xavier Xique, winner of the Pizza King Persuasive Writing Contest, poses with his first-place award.

WARSAW — Jefferson Elementary School’s third-grade classes had the opportunity to visit Pizza King for math class and learn about using fractions in the real world.

In addition, Karis Miller’s class participated in the Pizza King Persuasive Writing Contest.

Students wrote letters to Pizza King in order to persuade the business to add their unique pizza creations to the Pizza King menu.

The winner of the contest was Xavier Xique with the “Xavier Deluxe” pizza. Runners-up were Chloe McGillem with “The Cool Pizza” and Savannah Purdy with “The Italian” pizza.

The “Xavier Deluxe” pizza will run on special during the month of April at the Winona Avenue Pizza King. A percentage of each pizza purchase will be donated to the Jefferson lunch-accounts fund.
