The winner for the best opening line is ...........

Julie Stephenson

I love being amazed by our students! Earlier this year, I had my high school Writers Workshop students enter the First Line Writing Contest, which was sponsored by Scope magazine. Students submitted their very best opening lines for a story, and entries were judged by renowned young adult writer Pam Munoz Ryan. Last week I found out that our very own ninth grader Frankie Holmes is a finalist in the contest! According to a spokeswoman from Scope, Frankie’s first line was selected from thousands of entries. His picture and contest entry will be featured on the Scope website in April. Way to go, Frankie!
