Hear ye, Hear ye - Seeking all young knights and princesses in grades Kindergarten through 6th grade attending school in Vacaville.
News has arrived that Castles Information Network and The Reporter have teamed up to present the annual Castles Kids Reading and Art Contest.
Of little talent say ye? Worry not. The contest merely involves
reading a book with a medieval theme and using your imagination to
create a colored drawing of the book you read. The drawbridge to the Kingdom of Reading is now down, the iron gate open, and fear not falling into the moat. The Kingdom of Reading is child friendly and filled with wonderment. A world of adventure awaits beyond yon castle walls.
The contest is open to any knight or princess attending elementary school (K-6) in Vacaville.
Each student must read a book with a medieval theme.
There will be one grand prize winner and a first place winner in three divisions:
Division I - grades K, 1, 2;
Division II - grades 3, 4; and
Division III - grades 5, 6.
Not
only do young knights
and princesses compete, the class bringing forth the Grand Prize Winner
will receive a King's prize of $50 for classroom supplies. The grand prize winner receives an
assortment of treasures from the kingdom including a $50 Target Gift
Card.
Division winners also receive treasures from the kingdom and a $25
Target Gift Card.
Each classroom bringing forth a 1st Place winner will
also be awarded a King's prize of $50 for classroom supplies.
Each student must read a book with a medieval theme. (Teachers in
grades K & 1 may elect to read several books and allow the students
to choose one.)
Then on an 8.5 x 11.0 sheet of paper draw and color a picture representing the book they read.
Printed on the back of the drawing must be:
Student's Name,
Teacher's Name,
Grade 4) School,
Book Title. and
Book Author
Deadline for the contest is 3/24/06 with winners picked on 3/31/06.
