Elementary Prose
1st Place went to Evangeline Kunkle, a student at Pumpkin Center Intermediate School for âThe Promiseâ
2nd Place went to Jamie Carpenter, a student at Rock Springs Elementary for âI was Born on March Firstâ
Children have been painting on the walls for five years at St. James Elementary School â but itâs all for a common purpose and supervised by adults. Students are working on their most recent creation â an abstract mural depicting the cover of a book they recently read written by Lebron James and illustrated by Nina Mata, âI Promise.â
âThe kids were very excited to use a book that theyâd already known the author from sports,â Principal Shanti Clancy said. âThe book talks about promises that you make to become a successful human being like promising to go to school, to listen to your teacher, and other promises.â

ATLANTA, Ga., Feb 17, 2021 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) RoboSolucio, an innovator in artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for mobile robot companions, announced today that it has an agreement with Rock Springs Elementary, an Atlanta-area school in the Gwinnett County School System. The COVID pandemic has negatively impacted students nationwide and Rock Springs is applying innovative methods to maximize educational outcomes for both remote and in-person student learning.
Teachers are overwhelmed trying to manage both remote and in-person students, often doubling their workload. Remote students are especially challenged due to less personal video interaction along with distractions in the home environment, often not participating. In-person students miss context due to masks covering facial expressions and they are often distracted while fidgeting with their own masks.
