Norris Middle School, Seventh Grade


Golden Sower Nominees

The Golden Sower Award is the Nebraska children's choice literary award.  The GSA program was started in 1981 by Karla Wendelin (a former Norris elementary media specialist!) and Dee Storey.  Each year nominees in three different categories are chosen (Primary, Intermediate, and Young Adult),  and read by students across Nebraska.  The students can then vote on their favorite in the spring and the Golden Sower winners are named.  In 7th grade, we focus on the young adult category.  To learn more about the Golden Sower award, click on the website:
