The results are in! There were many great entries, and this year it was especially hard to choose a winner. After receiving 15 entries from Mrs.Wilkinson's fourth-grade class at Hildreth Elementary School, we decided to select two winners—one adult and one student. The winner in the adult division will receive a free one-year renewal of his subscription to the Harvard Press, and the students winner will receive a gift certificate for the Harvard General Store.
