Letters about Literature Contest
|
A librarian from Cleveland Public Library, Timothy Phillips, is coordinating this national reflective writing contest. Funding comes from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation.
Students are asked to write a heartfelt letter to an author, living or dead, from any genre-fiction (poem, short story, novel) or nonfiction (biography, memoir, autobiography)-that is contemporary or classic. They are to describe what the author's word meant to them and how they came to view themselves and their environment differently. Rather than a book report or fan letter, letters are to be considered a more private conversation with the author, and should be no more than 500 words.
Letters are encouraged to be completed and saved in MS Word, and can be uploaded online at
www.read.gov/letters
. This is a great opportunity to refine your child's digital literacy. Video guidance for online submission can be
found here
.
Prizes at state level:
1st - $100
2nd - $75
3rd - $50
At all levels, and along with Honorable Finalists, entrants will receive age-appropriate books, as well as having their work published in a commemorative booklet and be invited to a special awards ceremony on Saturday, May 11th, 2019 at the Main Branch of Cleveland Public Library (downtown).

Pull Tab Collection - Ronald McDonald House
|
We recently had several staff members make dinner for the residents of Ronald McDonald House. The House provides a place for families to call home so they can stay close to their hospitalized child at little to no cost. The staff brought back these pop can tab collection boxes, and we wanted to extend an invitation to all of our families to join us in collecting! Last year, Ronald McDonald House in Cleveland raised nearly $7,000 from pop can tabs alone! That money goes directly to the families staying in the House - it allows them to get diapers in an emergency, gift cards for celebratory dinners, etc. For more information, visit:
https://www.rmhcleveland.org/pull-tabs
. Please collect and send the tabs to school with your child...the families at Ronald McDonald House Cleveland thank you!
