Danielle Radeke, a junior in St. John Vianney High School, Holmdel, has received recognition for her writing submissions in the 2013 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards sponsored by the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers. The Jackson resident won the organization’s second place Silver Key Award for her short story “The House” and honorable mention in the poetry category for “Love’s Gamble/Sammy.”
More than 230,000 works were submitted to the nationwide contest, begun in 1923 to identify teenagers with exceptional artistic and literary talent and bring their works to a wider audience. Radeke began her writing career as a four-year-old, relaying stories for her grandmother to write down, then illustrating them.

The junior serves as secretary of the Mission Awareness Club, founded a youth group called Acts 29 and was lead actress in an SJV film entitled “Under Pressure.” She is also a vocalist for the Freehold Academy of Performing Arts and has recently filmed a commercial.
