This year, the Georgia Writers Museum opened their annual “Spooky Story” contest to schools across the state of Georgia. Each grade level was awarded 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes. The Middle School Creative Writing Program is exceptionally pleased to announce two state winners:

Emilia Viscarra, 8th grade, 1st place in state

Jolie Chamberlain, 7th grade, 2nd place in state 

Congratulations to these young writers--we are thrilled that their creative writing talents have been recognized and affirmed. (Be sure to read Emilia’s prize-winning story here, and Jolie’s here.) Please congratulate them when you see them!
