Colome students have poem published

Several Colome students were selected to be published in the Creative Communication fall poetry contest.

The publication was titled “A celebration of Poets.”

“Less than 50 percent of submissions are published so this is pretty big honor for our students,” said Colome English teacher Samantha Christensen.

“Our school will also be awarded writing achievement award due to the fact that 50 percent of the 8^th and 9^th grade students that submitted were chosen to be published,” she added.

Only the top 10 percent of schools that submit poems are awarded this.

The Colome school name will be published in the fall poetry edition on the writing achievement awards page. This is a national publication.

“I am so proud of the students and this is the most students in any year I have been published,” said Christensen.
