O’Neal’s Woodard Wins Grannie Annie
Rising O’Neal seventh grade student, Bray Woodard, attended the awards and book signing ceremony for the Grannie Annie Writing Contest on June 1st in St. Louis, Missouri. Her story is published in volume 9 of The Grannie Annie book, which is a collection of stories about family histories.
The Grannie Annie received 449 stories this year more than ever before. Students in U.S. grades 4 through 8 and homeschooled and international students age 9 through 14 are invited to interview family members of an older generation and write about something they learned from their family’s history from before their birth.
Bray’s submittal is a rather humorous story titled “A Geyser for Mother” describing her father’s experiment of sticking a leaf blower into the home’s sewage vent pipe. Bray is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Woodard of Star. For more information about Grannie Annie or to read Bray’s published story, go to: www.thegrannieannie.org.
