Good Morning, Reading Public School Staff and Community,

Reading Rotary, the Fall Street Faire Committee, and the Reading PorchFest Committee are co-sponsoring a writing contest for all Reading students in Grades K-12 to commemorate the 20^th Anniversary of September 11^th.

Students can submit a poem or essay on the theme “Light in the Darkness.” A judging panel will determine a winning essay or poem from the elementary, middle, and high school levels. The winning students will each win $100 and the opportunity to present their writing at the town-wide commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Writing submissions are due August 1. Details can be found at http://www.fallstreetfaire.com/events-and-activities/9-11-20th-anniversary-writing-contest/.
