October 20, 2010 is the National Day of Writing and Last Day to Hand in Reflections Entries

See our school home page for more on the PTSA Reflections Contest.

Here is another writing contest.  I was recently reminded to encourage you to enter this contest for young people sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars.  Look for details at  http://www.vfw.org/Community/Patriot-s-Pen/

And, if you're quick, you could enter this one:

American Fork City Library 
FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY 2010 SCARY STORY CONTEST
Calling for entries in four age categories:
      Children 6-8
      Junior 9-11
      Youth  12-18
       Adult 19+
 We encourage clever stories that build suspense and mystery.   While scary, chilling puzzles are desirable, graphic depictions of violence are discouraged.  Humorous tales are always welcome.  The entry fee is $3.00 per entry.  Entries must be received no later than Monday, October 18.  Submission guidelines and entry forms are available at the circulation desk in the library.  Awards will be announced in the Children's Library on Thursday, October 28 at 6:00p.m.
