Well done all the winners – great to see all this creativity.
Congratulations everyone! Incredible work that I could never have managed at that age or maybe ever!! Keep at it, keep at it, keep at it. Daily. You’re here because you have something special. Take care of it and grow it!
Congratulations again.
Congratulations! It’s wonderful to see a classical Lutheran school on the list–Jane, thanks for representing conservative Lutheran education so well. We’re blessed to have such bright poets in the church.
Well done, young poets. Keep writing and stay true to yourselves.
