Now for the other exciting news for the kids. Nature Friend Magazine is having a story contest that’s open for the kids. Here are the details:

We are announcing a story contest in the December issue of Nature Friend.  The contest will be open to families that subscribe to Nature Friend, and will appear in the May 2010 issue.  The complete rules will be in the December issue, but here are a couple of notes.  Three entries will be selected from each of four age groups, 6-8, 9-11, 12-14, and 15-17.  From the three stories selected in each group, we will randomly draw a name and give that writer a pair of binoculars or $35, winner’s choice.  The other two writers will also receive something.

Secondly, Judy Kauffman, the writer of our Creative Writing lesson in each Study Guide, has recently lost her house in a fire.  No one in the family was injured, but most things are gone, including her writings.  Those of us that have been following her lessons know how important it is to her that a nature journal be kept.  We want to get her new nature journal off to a running start.  We need your help to do this.  We invite you to send two photocopies of the pages in your journal.  We will forward one copy on to Judy to jump-start her new journal, and the other copy we will keep for consideration in the story contest.  See the details in the December issue concerning how to submit your stories.

Submissions that are not selected for the story contest will automatically be considered for the June Readers’ Issue.
