Professor Mom’s sent a copy of the booklet, “The U.S. Constitution and Fascinating Facts About It.” to Stephanie Erickson of Louisiana for her winning entry in the August homeschool writing contest. This booklet is still available from our online homeschool curriculum store here. We appreciate the participation we’ve had in the writing contests. This month we’d like to include artists in our monthly contest. The theme for September is “Fall” and we’re excited to see what kind of submissions we get. Please make sure to send your entries via email to leslie@pmschoolhouse.com. For art submissions, please take a video or picture of your finished product, and include a description of your work. For our writers, please send an email with your “Fall” story of 300 words or less before October 1, 2009. We are asking that entries for September’s Contest be restricted to homeschooled children ages 4-18 this time (lately, we’ve let parents participate). We will two winners, which will both receive a set of autumn-related stickers.

Homeschool Writing Contest
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.
