Abigail Koertge and Emily Chow win statewide bookmark contest
We are thrilled to announce that for the third consecutive year, Houston Middle School students have triumphed in the Tennessee Association of School Librarian’s (TASL) State Bookmark Contest. Demonstrating remarkable talent in the digital arena, Abigail Koertge has clinched first place in the new Digital Category of Division III, with Emily Chow securing second place. Krista Grace from TASL expressed her congratulations, highlighting the creative and inspiring designs of their bookmarks which stood out among the Division III digital entries.
Additionally, in a proud moment for our community, their bookmarks will be shared across Tennessee schools and presented to state legislators on Legislative Day in March. This serves not only as an honor for Abigail and Emily but also emphasizes the importance of school libraries, reading, and art in GMSD.
