Eva and I will be co-writing the Weippe news now. She sent this info: Announcing the 2008 READING RAINBOW Young Writers & Illustrators Contest! Idaho Public Television is calling on students in kindergarten through third grade to enter the 14th Annual READING RAINBOW Young Writers and Illustrators Contest. The deadline for entries is March 25.
Entry forms and additional information are available from the Idaho Public Television site: http://www.idahoptv.org/kids.
Sponsored by the award-winning PBS television series READING RAINBOW, the contest attracts almost 1,000 entries statewide and more than 40,000 entries nationally each year. IdahoPTV, together with more than 100 other PBS stations nationwide, sponsor and promote the contest.
Students enter the contest by creating an original story with illustrations and submitting it with an official entry form.

All first-place stories are sent to compete at the national contest. National entries vie for prizes such as a laptop computer, flat panel TV or an MP3 player. Each of the 12 national winners also receives three sets of 10 READING RAINBOW DVDs and books - one set each for home, school and community library.
