Writing contest winners to be published

In March, twelve students from talented and gifted language arts classes at Camp Creek Middle School entered the O! Georgia Too Writing Competition sponsored by Humpus Bumpus Bookstore in Cumming, Georgia.

Out of the 12 Camp Creek submissions, seven students are published in the fifth edition of the book.

The Humpus Bumpus Bookstore invited the students to a huge book signing in October to which each student could invite forty of his/her friends and family.

The seven students who will be published are listed below.

Arielle Kinnebrew and London Nelson, eighth grade, wrote a poem, "And Then We Grew Up."

Adrian Dunmeyer, now a ninth grader at Westlake High School, wrote a short story, "Finally Free: A Story about the Holocaust."
