Today is World Water Day and here's a great way to celebrate!
Calling all Oregon students!
I just learned of a fantastic program for Oregon students --- K through college! It's an opportunity to submit work (both writing and art) to a student anthology called, Honoring Our Rivers. The deadline this year is Earth Day, April 22, 2018.
I wrote about a similar program that was sponsored by the Columbia Riverkeeper in my book, River Wild. It was an annual poetry contest called, Love of a River. And there is another one called River of Words on the theme of watersheds.
Rivers are so inspiring. I love hearing of programs that encourage kids to look at their local waterways, become inspired and then…..CREATE!
I can't wait to see the next Honoring Our Rivers Anthology! I know it will be terrific!
And for those of you looking to be inspired by rivers - check out these titles!
