Eighth grader Gracie Burgess, of Bethel Middle School, will see her artwork worn by eighth-graders across Haywood County during Kids in the Creek this year following her win at Haywood Waterways Association’s annual T-shirt contest. 

Taking second in the competition was Jaden Gentry of Canton Middle School, with Maria Correa of Bethel Middle School coming in third. 

Every student who attends Kids in the Creek this year will receive a free T-shirt bearing Burgess’ artwork, and she will also receive a tour of the Rikki Tikki Tees Screen Printing shop to get a firsthand look at the graphic design process. Kids in the Creek is an annual hands-on science event sponsored by Haywood Waterways.
