This year's poetry contest was difficult to judge - there were so many great entries - but we managed to choose three that really spoke to us.

Our winners are:

1st Place: Julia Murray, Altamont

2nd Place: Lily Thompson, Homewood Middle School

3rd Place: Mictchel Santillan

Many thanks to everyone who entered - we really enjoyed reading all of your poetry. We will post the winning poems next week, so check back Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
