#Teachers, include @Scholastic Art & Writing Awards (#StartWriteNow) in your planning.  Although registration and entries are not being accepted yet, get your students on the road to entering when registration opens Sept. 16, 2013. The deadline for last school year was in March, so plenty of time to work on perfection!

Scholastic has provided 40 creative prompts for #classroom teachers to use.  Get your school involved by sharing this post with teachers and administration.

Students win scholarships, cash and prizes for various awards.  Teachers win when students win.  This information is from last year.  The website has not been updated with 2013-14 school year.
