Congratulations to Bailey! This article appeared in the Daily Herald 5/9/08:
"Bailey Bystry, a Glen Ellyn resident and sixth-grade student at Hadley Junior High School, earned a spot as a finalist in the River of Words Environmental Poetry & Art Contest -- the largest youth poetry competition in the world.
Bailey's poem, "If I Could Be Water," was chosen from approximately 20,000 entries from 11 countries and is expected to be published in the River of Words Anthology this summer.
Bailey's poem "Morning Water" also won first place for sixth grade in the Glen Ellyn Public Library's Middle School Poetry Contest.
She is one of three Illinois winners of the 100 winners who will all be honored at the River of Words' 13th annual awards ceremony, to be held at The Library of Congress Center for the Book, in Washington, D.C., Monday.
Her writing can be read online at www.writersstudiokids.blogspot.com."
