Student Honored

Last semester, Scott Alford submitted a poem to a contest for young poets. He wrote his poem for extra credit through Mrs. Britt's AP English class. The contest is held for students in grades K through 12. The top ten poets in each division are published in A Celebration of Young Poets. Alford's poem was ranked in the top ten, and he will be published in the next edition. He also received a complimentary copy of the anthology and a fifty dollar savings bond.

Creative communication sponsors this poetry contest to offer an opportunity for youth to be creative. The poems are selected for their literary merit, creativity, and social significance. Creative Communication also awards over $13,000 each year in Language Arts Grants to schools to help encourage and support young writers.
