We are excited to announce that 3rd grader Olivia S. has won the Young Georgia Author’s writing competition for the local RESA district. Olivia’s story was initially selected as the winning entry for her class and then for the entire 3rd grade at her school. Competing against 3rd graders from each of the other schools in the county, Olivia was again selected as the school district's 3rd grade winner. Her story was then sent to the next level, where it was selected as the winning entry among all 8 counties in our RESA district, which includes Coffee, Atkinson, Clinch, Bacon, Ware, Charlton, Pierce, and Brantley. Olivia’s story will now compete at the state level.
Olivia’s story, The Woods, describes a magical hideout in the woods “where dragons flew, unicorns roamed, and a giant apple tree stood.” When her father decides to cut down the trees surrounding the hideout for firewood, Olivia comes up with a plan to save it. Olivia’s teachers at say that they are proud of Olivia for combining her creativity with the writing skills she has learned in class. We wish Olivia the best of luck in the state competition. State winners will be announced May 2016.
