In Shorecrest’s ninth grade Honors English course taught by Ms. Elouej, students recently participated in the 2025 Membean Meme Contest, sponsored by the vocabulary study program, Membean. Sophia Carvajal-Montecristo ’28 earned a grand prize - a $200 Amazon gift card to be used for items for the classroom!
Competing against all ninth through twelfth grade students who use the program in the US and Canada, Shorecrest’s English 9 Honors students created memes using one or more words they encountered during their regular Membean vocabulary-building sessions. Their best memes were collected, and classmates voted for eight favorites to be passed on to Membean’s contest judges, who narrowed the field even further for a Membean user teacher-and-student vote to determine the Top 10. The most clever three included a meme by Sophia that used the vocabulary word aftermath.
