Dear Principals, Teachers, Media Specialists, and Parents:
The Ohoopee Regional Library System is once again sponsoring the “Yumion” Writing Contest for grades K-8 in conjunction with the 2024 Vidalia Onion Festival. The purpose of the contest is to bring children and books together. We hope that the enjoyment and recognition they receive from participating in this writing project will further encourage them to read and write.
Last year we received 350 entries due to the support of area schools. We would like to thank you for your dedication and ask you to please encourage your students to prepare and submit an entry this year.
The details of the contest are as follows:
- Entries are divided into the following categories
Grades K-2 (Draw us a picture! Tell us your “Yumion” story through a drawing.)
Grades 3-4 (200-350 words)
Grades 5-6 (350-500 words)
Grades 7-8 (450-650 words)
Each entry must feature Vidalia, “Yumion”, and/or the Sweet Onion. Entries can include poems as well as stories. It does not have to be the story of how the sweet onion was discovered. Have fun and be creative!
Grade 2 has the option of drawing a picture (or) writing a story (suggested length of entry, 50-150 words)
Each entry must be accompanied by a separate sheet of paper stating the author’s name, address, age, grade, school, and telephone number. No name should appear on the entry itself and the entries should not be placed in binders or folders.
Entries do not need to be typed, but must be clearly legible. They must be turned in by closing time April 8, 2024 at any Ohoopee Regional Library System branch.
Each category will be awarded a first, second, and third place prize as well as an honorable mention (Sixteen prizes total). The first-place prize in each category is $25, second is $20, third is $15, and honorable mention is $10.
Winners will have their name published in the Vidalia Advance Newspaper. If you or your students have any questions, please feel free to contact me at wrights@ohoopeelibrary.org
Sincerely,
Stacey Wright
Toombs County Librarian
LUES 7 MINDSETS 100% ACCOUNTABLE: GROW THROUGH LIFE
At this age, students are becoming better risk takers and are trying new things but can become overly anxious or worried about outcomes. When we are 100% Accountable and grow through life, we learn that life is a process of continuous growth in which failure and mistakes are a part of the journey.
Mrs Carroll's class is wishing Jasiel and Mrs.Donna Carpenter,a very happy birthday this Saturday! :) Hope you have a wonderful birthday 🎂🎉
