The two Riverside students selected as winners in 2019 Marshall County Reading Council Young Authors' Contest were Emily Dicus and Xinlang Fan.
5th-grade winner Emily Dicus wrote about a broccoli attack during dinner time in her work titled, “The Healthy Broccoli.”
6th-grade winner Xinlang Fan wrote about herbicide’s archnemesis, the dandelion in his work titled “Attack of the DandeLion.”
Emily and Ray found out on Friday, March 1st that they were the writing contest winners. In addition, a feature on the school’s morning announcement the following week on March 5th was done.
The goal was for students to create a “monster” out of everyday objects. Both submissions were detailed and included, characters, setting, plot, and best of how all, how to defeat their monster.
The winners will attend a meet-and-greet March 7th, they will receive an autographed copy of a book by Troy Cummings, and an award/certificate.
The Young Authors' Conference will be held on Thursday, March 7, 2019 at Culver Elementary School Gym (west entrance). Book sales will begin at 5:30 p.m. and the award ceremony and conference will begin at 7:00 p.m. and will end at 8:00 p.m.
