Pictured is Greg Marousis, a student at Beatrice Gilmore School, who won the Alfred H. Baumann Free Public Library’s 25th Annual Poetry Contest for Category B (3rd-4th grade). He wrote his winning poem “Ode to Grandma Helen” for his 87-year-old grandmother who was in attendance during the poetry reading ceremony, held in Dowling Gardens on June 16.  After reading his poem aloud, he then presented her with a bouquet of roses. His older brother John also won for the same category when he wrote a winning poem for their grandfather in 2011.
