Earlier this year Molly Swain, an 8th grade student at Orinda Intermediate School (OIS), submitted a poem to a contest that was held for young poets. Swain's poem was selected from thousands of entries as one of the top ten in her grade division. The contest was held for all students in grades K-12. The top ten poets in each division (grades K-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12) will each receive special recognition in the poetry anthology "A Celebration of Poets." Each top ten winner receives a complimentary copy of the anthology and a $50 savings bond. Poems are selected for their literary merit, creativity, and social significance.
