Contest Winner Announced

The fourteen contest entries have been reviewed, and we have a winner!  Kendall Bowen from 5th grade was selected as the winner of the school-wide writing contest.  Congratulations!  Her final chapter will be attached to the story online as the official ending.  All other entrants will also have their chapters posted online in a later section of alternate endings. 

All of the students who submitted writing for the contest were honored in an assembly on Thursday, May 28.  They all received a writing journal, and a gift card to the movie theater. Brooke Springer of 4th grade was our Honorable Mention winner, and she received a signed copy of Elaine Alphin's Ghost Soldier.  As our winner, Kendall Bowen recieved a signed copy of Ghost Soldier and $50 cash!  Elaine Alphin read Kendall's winning chapter aloud to the school, and honored everyone for all their great work. 

Thanks to all who helped create this wonderful story!
