Young Author's Contest

The 2024-2025 Deep Run Young Author's Contest winners have officially been selected!! Many students submitted entries this year and the judging was difficult. We have so many wonderful authors here at DRES! Without further adieu, the winners in each grade-level are...

  • Salma Zoghbi ~ The Mystery of the Missing Class Pet (Short Story)
  • Bryce Lockett ~ The Flash and Big Blue's Christmas (Short Story)
  • Kayla Morgan ~ Dan's Latest Adventure (Short Story)
  • Dylan Corona ~ Sound Poem: Cello (Poetry)
  • Dawn Medio ~ One Winter Day (Poetry)
  • Sophia Forkner ~ The Great Breakout (Short Story)
  • Kaylin Cartwright ~ My Grandma (Poetry)
  • Brian Carrigan ~ Pinocchio Told By Geppeto (Short Story)

Congratulations to these young authors! The winners in each grade will have their writing submitted to the Howard County Level for judging. If their writing wins at the county-level, their families will be contacted, along with myself and their teacher, and they will be invited to an awards ceremony. Good-luck to all of our DRES winners! A special thank you to all our teachers for fostering the joy of writing and to Ms. Yost for her investment in the Young Author's Program.
