Congratulations to the talented young authors and artists at Wheatland Center School who recently participated in the Southern Lakes Anthology writing project. The theme of this year’s anthology project was “Unstoppable." Student work was judged on clarity and message, creativity/originality, technical skill and presentation, and overall quality. Wheatland had twenty-one pieces chosen for publication. Thank you to all students in grades third through eighth that participated in this project.

Seventh grader, Haven Young, received special recognition this year. In addition to having her artwork titled “Always” published in this year’s anthology, it will be showcased on the front cover.
