Story in a Tweet Winners!

This year, Overlake ran its Story in a Tweet contest. The object was for students to write an entire story—beginning, middle, and end—in 25 words or fewer. Out of many amazingly short entries, the faculty voted, and for the first time ever, we have a clean sweep of first, second, and third place! Here are the winners. Final score: Green 33, Gold 19. Winning homeroom: McGrath
