Today there was pizza and prizes for Edward Milne Community School students participating in our annual writing contest. Winners were awarded a copy of the anthology where their work has been published as well as a cash prize.
Sadly, with such a busy end-of-school year, not all the students were able to attend. Next year the plan is to have the contest and award time earlier in the school year.
Contest results:
poetry prize: Morganne Orchard for “April”
senior 1st place: Makayla Scharf for “Curiosity Killed the Cat”
junior 1st place: Kara Lebold for “Revenge Is Not Always Sweet”
junior 2nd place: Jessica Thompson for “Fading Thoughts”
senior 2nd place: Heidi Anderson for “Bread of Scarborough”
