Winning Letter in "The Press"

It is so exciting, we "won" the winning letter in "The  Press". We are sad though that we "won" through the sadness of others. Our teacher put it in a week ago.  She looked every day and then thought "Oh, well, they are not going to print it." Then on Friday, there it was.  She is so proud of us all.  She wanted to text all her friends at 5am in the morning, when she read it but had to wait until they were out of bed.

It was so nice to have it printed the day after the very sad day when the service was held for the miners.  We all had two minutes silence to remember them.  This is the page it was on and you can see the cartoon on one of our other Pike River Coal Mine blogs.
