The Kansas Authors Club District 5 is so proud of our 2016 Youth Writing Contest winners! It takes a tremendous amount of courage to put your writing in front of people you don't know and ask them to judge your work. Thank you to all the students who took that bold step and submitted their writing to the KAC 2016 Youth Writing Contest.
