Professor Mom’s Schoolhouse email newsletter subscribers normally get the latest information about our writing contests in our monthly email newsletter. I had to move the extra information to our blog because there just wasn’t enough space to cram everything there. There are other reasons as well, but I will have to go into that later. If you’re reading this, you just want to know about the writing contest, right?

First, I’d like to thank 10 year old Jacob Tinsdale, of Texas, for the humorous story about his dad. As the winner of our Father’s Day writing contest, Jacob will get a free copy of the “Most” short film.  Jacob’s entry beat out several others mainly because it was sweet AND funny.

Our next writing contest is about patriotism.  We really want to encourage everyone, especially our home school friends, to express their thoughts about patriotism. Please limit submissions to 250 words or less, and send them via email to leslie@pmschoolhouse.com. The winner of the essay, which will be determined on August 31, 2009, will receive a free copy of the booklet, “The U.S. Constitution and Fascinating Facts About It.” This booklet is also available from our store here.
