At the end of the 2006-07 school year, students in Susan Holcombe’s fourth grade gifted class at Spring Hill Elementary entered essays in the Creative Communication, Inc. writing contest. Nineteen of the entries were found worthy for publication in a book called, “Celebrating What Is Important to Me.” Students whose essays were accepted for publication include: (first row, l-r) Jamie DeCicco, Katy Lewis, Jessica Davis; (second row) Jordan Watson, Raegan Chunn, Kendal Crowther, Rachel Kutch, Samantha Forse, Taylor Hosemann, Amber Hartel; (back row) Andrew Bankston, James Challman, Avery Roth, Jared Baker, Quentin VanHoozer, John Moore, Tyree Reid and Nicholas Powell as well as Dylan Tiller (not pictured). Additionally, Spring Hill Elementary has received a “Writing Achievement Award,” which is given to the top 10 percent of the schools who entered the contest. The schools are chosen based on the number and quality of the entries accepted. Photo/Special.
