The 2017 winners of the Peepalooza Contest are: first place Titanic by Scarlett Bussey; second place Wise Black Bird by Andrew Shiland; third place an Indian story by Zeke Becker; and tied for fourth place an Indian story by Collin Smith and I Survived the Chicago Fire by Dylan Yarnal. Congratulations to all who entered the contest!

We are so happy that so many students entered. We will host another Peepalooza next year so start thinking about what you would like to create! [/private]
