WATCH: Fairfield High School Student's Essay Featured on NPR

Fairfield Warde High School junior Delia Motavalli was recognized at Tuesday's Board of Education meeting for her essay "Find a Good Frog," which she read on National Public Radio last month.

Motavalli submitted "Find a Good Frog" -- which she wrote for a freshman English class -- to NPR's "This I Believe" series, and she was selected to read it on "The Bob Edwards Show" in late March.

Warde Headmaster James Coyne told the board that Motavalli is an "exceptional writer."
