✨ Tri County Student Earns Statewide Writing Honor! ✨

Congratulations to Tri County 6th grader Gabe Sowards, who has been named the winner of the 4th–6th grade category in the Nebraska Letters About Literature Contest, a prestigious statewide writing competition sponsored by the Nebraska Center for the Book and the Nebraska Library Commission.

For the contest, students write a personal letter to an author describing how a book impacted them or changed their perspective. Gabe wrote his award-winning letter to Evan Griffith, author of the novel Manatee Summer.

As the statewide winner in his division, Gabe will be honored at a special ceremony at the Nebraska State Capitol, where the Governor will recognize the students and present each winner with a Certificate of Achievement. The celebration will continue with a reception at the Bennett Martin Library, where winners will have the opportunity to share their letters and visit the Jane Pope Geske Heritage Room of Nebraska Authors.

This is an outstanding accomplishment and a tremendous honor. We are incredibly proud of Gabe for representing Tri County and for his exceptional writing.

Congratulations, Gabe!
