The Rotary Club of Franklin, Read2Me, and The Macon County News recently held an Essay Contest at our local schools. We will be featuring the winning stories on our blog, we think it’s the perfect way to see Franklin – “Through the Eyes of Our Youth.”
This essay is from Arianne Geren – 1st Place Winner and 4th Grade Student at South Macon Elementary School
Dear Sydney,
I hope you are having a good school year. Can you believe it’s almost summer?! I know that you probably already have plans but I would love for you to come visit the mountains! I know you won’t believe this, but this letter I am writing to you is actually my entry for an award contest. I have to write a letter saying why my hometown, Franklin, is so special which it really is!! So here’s hoping I do well with the contest, but more importantly that you can find it in your hear to take a chance and come here!!
