Ridgely Middle Schooler Featured In Online Magazine

Celie Scott's writing is published in the March edition of 'MY-Say' magazine.

An area student was featured this month in an online publication written by middle-school students for their peers.

MY-Say magazine, www.my-say.org, is a nonprofit publication edited by children's author Jennifer Keats Curtis, and the March edition of the online publication featured a Ridgely Middle School student who won the magazine's monthly contest.

Celie Scott, a sixth-grader at Ridgely Middle School, won four tickets to the National Aquarium in Baltimore for winning the monthly "I Say." This month the challenge was to make the magazine editor laugh in 200 words or less.
