Every year, the Pioneer Press hosts the following contest:
Attention, first-graders: Whether it’s your parents, your school or the mashed potatoes you’re planning to pile on your plate at Thanksgiving, the Pioneer Press wants to know about it.
Describe what you’re thankful for and why in 30 words or less, and we’ll choose some to share with our readers the Sunday before Thanksgiving. You are welcome to submit artwork to go along with your description. Include your name, age, school and where you live, and put your name on the back of your artwork.
Deadline is 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 8. Because of the large number of submissions, no entries or artwork can be returned.
The Pioneer Press published some of our writing on Sunday, November 14th!
Take a look at our class submissions!
