This year's Halloween Micro-Fiction winners

This year my Library Committee decided to run a reprise of last year's successful Halloween Micro-Ghost Story (write a creepy tale in 50 words or less! - although we weren't terribly strict about the word limit).

I announced the winners and handed out prizes at Assembly this morning. All well worth a look. But don't read them too close to bedtime.....

Results of Halloween Micro Ghost Story Competition

In my role as School Librarian (I wear so many different hats around here!!), last week I promoted a little competition for the upcoming spooky holiday: students were challenged to write a creepy story in 50 words or less.

There were a couple of dozen or so entries in all, and picking winners proved to be very difficult (nearly impossible, in fact: the three colleagues I'd asked to judge the competition were deadlocked for a while).

All the stories submitted are worth a look, but especially our final top three.

I am hopeful that this might become an annual event in our small school.
