Check out the second volume of “The Grayhound Graveyard,” a compilation of horror stories written by Burlington students.
This year, more than 140 stories were submitted by students in the Burlington Community School District’s second Scary Story Writing Contest. From those entries, a panel of judges selected first-, second-, and third-place winners for each building level, as well as honorable mention.
Congratulations to this year’s winners!
