York Elementary students win National Poetry Contest!

Two fourth graders at YES, Lindsey S. and Lilly H., were recently selected as winners in a national poetry contest! The contest is hosted by Young Writers of America.com.

The panel of educators associated with Young Writers of America reviewed thousands of submissions. Less than 20% of of the entries were selected for publication. Lindsey and Lilly will both have their poems published in the prestigious annual student anthology, Award-Winning Young Writers of America-2012.

In addition to having their works published they will also entered into a drawing for a chance to win the Grand Prize which includes an XBox360, iPod Touch, Nintedo Wii, or cash prize--poet's choice!

Way to go young ladies!
