KIDS RULE ESSAY WINNERS

What would the world be like if kids ruled?  That was the question asked of Williamson County students as part of the 2008 Family Resource Center Writing Contest.  More than 800 students from Williamson County Schools, Franklin Special School District, home schools and private schools participated in the contest. 

Students in grades K through 12 were asked to write a fictional essay using this year's theme Kids Rule; If Kids Were in Charge.  The purpose of the contest is to give students the opportunity to practice writing skills learned in the classroom and encourage the art of creative fiction writing.   

The first place winner for each category won $100, $50 for second and $25 for third.  The Family Resource Center will host its annual award ceremony honoring the 2008 Writing Contest Winners Saturday, April 26 at the Brentwood Country Club.  The following students are winners of this year's contest:
