Writing Teachers

Great News!
I am proud to announce and invite you and your students to participate in the
Narrative Compositions for first nine weeks contest. This contest, will begin this
week, and continue for the remainder of the school year. This is an excellent
opportunity for your students to showcase their writing samples from the first nine
weeks. Each teacher will choose first and second place winner from their classroom
for the narrative writing from the first nine weeks, and one honorable mention.
Once you have chosen a winner; I will collect all the samples from each grade level
and choose one winner from each grade level to represent Raymond Writing Club.
The winner will be displayed on our In Progress Writing Board for the remainder of
the second nine weeks. The Grand Prize winner will receive a pencil, a certificate,
and his or her composition read on the announcements all Honorable Mentions will
receive a certificate.
I would like to ask that you please share this opportunity with your students by
announcing this contest in class. The best way to participate, although not required,
would be to include the contest as an important assignment in your class. A rubric
will be provided so that each writing piece will be scored fairly.
I will also send letters home to parent asking permission to publish their childs work
on Raymonds web page.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact me by email. I look forward to
submissions from your students.

Best regards,
J. Moton
