Spine-Tingling Writing Contest Winners! by Tracy Howard - Wednesday, Apr 22, 2009 at 3:59pm

It is with great pleasure that McNally Robinson Booksellers announces the winners of it's 3rd annual grade 5-6 writing contest. We received a record number of entries this year and for that we thank you. Some were scary in a funny way, some had a real sense of time and place, others were wonderfully researched, and all were a genuine attempt to tell a great Canadian story. The best ones did all the above, and made our spines tingle as well! To those whose entries were not finalists, a special thank you. Keep on writing - perhaps one day you may find something you wrote on our store shelves!

Here are this year's winners.

1st Place winner: Melli Vincent from Ecole Robert H. Smith school

2nd Place winner: Alexandra Chubaty Boychuk from Balmoral Hall School

3rd Place winner: Amanda Anderson from Henry G. Izatt School

Honourable mention winners: Erin Knight from Gilbert Plains Elementary School, and Hannah Lank from Brock Corydon School

Our gala awards night will be April 28 at McNally Robinson Polo Park where Scholastic Canada's Haunted Canada series author Pat Hancock will be joining us. All are welcome.
