There were 73 students who wrote silly short stories in Mrs. Downey’s 3rd-5th grade writing enrichment groups last year at their respective schools (Warren Area Elementary Center, Sheffield Elementary School) and at the Gifted District Enrichment days (including Eisenhower, Beaty and Youngsville students). These students entered their 100-word ridiculous stories into the Young Writers Ridiculous Writers Contest. The class set of entries won the First Place Award of Excellence out of 6,500 student entries from across the United States! All the student stories that were entered in the contest were chosen to be published in the Ridiculous Writers Crazy Creations Anthology and many students gave permission for their story to be printed. The students were awarded a glass trophy for their winning entries and this trophy will be on display at each of the schools over the next school year. Congratulations to all these creative writers including all of our creative Sheffield students!
