The Young Authors' Fair Competition is held each year at Gilbert Elementary School. It takes place in two rounds. Students are encouraged to write about any topic or genre in class. The writing samples are read by the classroom teacher. Each teacher is allowed to submit three writing pieces for each round.

On Thursday, January 10, the first round winners were announced on the morning news. The third grade winners were as follows:

First Place

Congratulations to these winners and good luck to everyone for the second round!
