Greene County Middle Schoolers Win iPads in John Gamble Essay Contest

In Greene County, two middle school students have won new iPads in the annual Walters State John Gamble Essay Competition. Erica Davis from West Greene Middle School and Molly Ross from Chuckey Doak Middle School received the awards for their essays on how iPads could improve their education. They also received gift cards for educational materials.

The competition is named after John Gamble, a Morristown native known for his work in journalism, politics, and entertainment. It encourages students in Greene County and beyond to engage with global knowledge, continuing Gamble's legacy of valuing education.

Winners of the contest receive iPads and have the opportunity to gain preference in the John A. Gamble Memorial Essay Contest if they attend Walters State after high school. This provides ongoing support for their education.

Originally, the contest gave winners complete sets of encyclopedias. With the shift to digital learning, the prizes were updated to iPads to provide access to digital information, including encyclopedias.
