Green Cloth and Julianna Baggott

Bring me all your happiness,
you happy people.
All your happiness will come to me.
I will wrap it in a green cloth,
So I can keep it away from the hands of the sad. -LS -Sugar Loaf Elementary School

1) National Writing Contest

Teachers and Media Specialists, sign up for a NATIONAL WRITING CONTEST.

All who sign up will be given the SECRET WRITING PROMPT (one that will have to do with this year's theme -- Baseball and Magic!) on January 5th.

On March 1st, teachers and media specialists report back. If all of their students participated in the contest, they will receive special certification - plus a DVD Inside the Magical Brains of Baggott and Bode -- about reading, writing, baseball, magic, and the wild imagination.

Teachers can also email FAMOUS FIRST SENTENCES from their class to be posted on The Prince of Fenway Park web site for all the world to see!

We believe that writing isn't about winning and losing contests. It's about letting loose the imagination and jumping into the creative process. To that end, we aren't reading entries and picking winners. We are rewarding participation. Our hope is to get as many kids writing as possible. We will be listing ALL participating schools across the country on this web site!

For more INFO, go to www.PRINCEofFENWAYPARK.com



OR SIGN UP NOW: Write Julianna Baggott an email at jcbaggott@aol.com.
Give us the name of your school, city and state. That's it! You're in!

This is the fine print where someone might warn you that getting excited about a NATIONAL WRITING CONTEST and FREE BOOKS might lead to delighted dilirium and periods of dizziness. If you experience shortness of breath while reading a Bode book, please contact your local librarian who might change your page-per-day dosage. If this is an emergency and you absolutely MUST contact Bode himself, who can sometimes offer a cure for prolonged bouts of such things, go to www.theanybodies.com, and email him directly.
