David Barton mentioned this and us in a tweet yesterday. (If you don’t know who David Barton is, you need to learn!) Constituting America is a group that was founded by Janine Turner (former TV actress). They have an essay contest for every level of school. We just thought you might want to check it out.
Thank you for the post! This is Cathy Gillespie, co-chair of Constituting America. In addition to the essay category for high school and middle school, our contest for students includes best poem & artwork for K-5; song and essay for middle school (6-8); essay, song, psa & short film for high school; speech, song, psa & short film for college & law school students! Contest entries due July 4th, and kids can win prizes, a trip to Philadelphia and a chance to star in a documentary like this one: http://www.constitutingamerica.org/film2011 – rules & info here: http://www.constitutingamerica.org/downloads.php
