Hey all-
This was forwarded to our office info and looks like a great opportunity for all of you. Check it out if it sounds interesting.
WKCD Nation Writing Contest
"AT WKCD, we’ve always thought that teaching and learning works best when teachers know their students well. It makes gut sense. And a great way to kick off the school year is to give students an opportunity to talk or write about themselves, to give their teachers a feel for who they are and where they’re from.
So today we’re announcing a new national writing contest, in which students across the country tell WKCD -- and the world -- “Where I’m From.”
We're asking students to submit a poem or essay, using writer and teacher George Ella Lyon's classic poem "Where I'm From" as fuel.
The deadline for sumbitting entries is October 31, 2010. We’ll announce the winning poems and essays on our website on November 15, 2010. Winners will receive $100 Amazon gift certificates and be published on WKCD.org -- a great place to take a bow!"
