Samuel Mickle Willy Wonka Writing Contest Winners

Grand Prize Winner: Anthony Christopher  (Phillips)

Timothy the pencil is always afraid to be used. The sharpener hurts him. He always gets papercuts and he hates doing math. Cursive makes him dizzy. And worst of all, he is running low on… himself! (because he is being used and sharpened a lot) So, he starts writing notes to make his owner stop. Will it work? Or will he be used up?

6th Grade Winner: Mary Wordelmann (Mazeika)

Liberty and Prosperity

Liberty and Prosperity have lived on the NJ State flag as twin sisters for 242 years. But then the twins hear some opinions on their flag, and they start to turn on each other. Jealousy is an ugly thing, but what happens when Liberty and Prosperity can no longer work together, and NJ is thrown completely off balance? Magic happens. The twins are thrown into the 21st century as teens, and are competing against each other for everything. Can Liberty and Prosperity work together again to return the state to normal? Or will jealousy keep them from fixing the cursed state?
