In October, twenty-one students in Mrs. DiMasso-Shininger's Creative Writing class entered a Young Writers USA contest by writing a 100-word mini-saga around the theme of "hunted." All of the students' stories were accepted for publication, a rare feat! This anthology, called Hunted - Tales From The USA, will go to print on March 31, 2024; students are now checking their typeset copy and sending their parent/guardian permission to the editors.
Please congratulate the following students. The title of their mini-saga is included.SOS: Hunted 2023, A Writing Contest for Middle and High School Students. Outrun. Outlast. Outwit. Will you be the hunter or the hunted?
