The winners for the 37
th annual Robinson-Lineberger Literary Competition were recently announced at an awards ceremony held at the Lincoln Cultural Center. This competition is sponsored by the Trustees of the Flo Robinson Estate and the Robert Lineberger Estate to memorialize Flo Robinsonâs lifelong interest in poetry and prose and to encourage local writers in the pursuit of excellence in their craft.
The 2021 Robinson Lineberger Literary Winners are as follows:
Elementary Prose
1st Place went to Evangeline Kunkle, a student at Pumpkin Center Intermediate School for âThe Promiseâ
2nd Place went to Jamie Carpenter, a student at Rock Springs Elementary for âI was Born on March Firstâ
Children have been painting on the walls for five years at St. James Elementary School â but itâs all for a common purpose and supervised by adults. Students are working on their most recent creation â an abstract mural depicting the cover of a book they recently read written by Lebron James and illustrated by Nina Mata, âI Promise.â
âThe kids were very excited to use a book that theyâd already known the author from sports,â Principal Shanti Clancy said. âThe book talks about promises that you make to become a successful human being like promising to go to school, to listen to your teacher, and other promises.â
