Harford County Reading Council’s 28th Annual Young Authors Writing Contest

The distinguished honor as a winning author is quite an accomplishment for seventy nine Harford County authors and poets. We received hundreds of pieces of writing, and only three were chosen from each grade level for each category. This year we have a two part celebration starting on March 11, 2009 with the winners appearing before the Education Board meeting at the A. A. Roberty Building in Bel Air to receive certificates and be honored by the Harford County Reading Council’s Young Authors Writing Committee. The celebration will continue on March 14, 2009 at Barnes and Noble book store in Bel Air where the student will read the winning entries, meet famous authors, receive prizes, awards, and special surprises. The following students from the Edgewood School family entered and were winners. Congratulations!
