This annual contest, made possible by the Joseph and Judith Conda Family with additional support from Taylor Automotive, was created to encourage young children to express themselves through writing and drawing. We invite children ages 4 through 12 to write, illustrate and submit stories to WGTE. Each child who enters the contest will receive a completion certificate. Prizes will be awarded to First, Second and Third place winners in each age group category. Contest winners will be celebrated and win great prizes.
The teacher with the most students who enter will receive a special prize bag with a $100 Visa or Mastercard gift card.
Congratulations to our teacher winner Rachel Thoma from Wildwood Environmental Academy!
