Dear MJHS Team,
Here are several opportunities that may be of interest to you (these are =
from bulletin announcements which are read 2nd period):
1.  Attention Writers and Readers:  Save Saturday, November 6 for the NW =
Inland Writing Project Young Authors' Conference!  Keynote speaker is =
Katy Robinson, author of books for young adults.  Her memoir, A Single =
Square Picture is the unforgettable account of a young Korean adoptee's =
search for her roots.  She knows what it's like to straddle two =
cultures.  The conference is at MJHS from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and =
the $18.00 fee gets you the full workshop day plus a copy of her book =
and a t-shirt.  The book alone retails for $13.95--what a deal!  Check =
with Mrs. Tragesser in Room 115 or your English teacher for a packet.  =
(Additional note--you may want to visit the website =
http:/wwwasinglesquarepicture.com for more information including reviews =
of the book.)
2.  Here's an opportunity to talk with nationally acclaimed poet Robert =
Wrigley about his work and the craft of poetry.  Using some of his own =
work, he'll talk about what a poem is, how it comes into being, and how =
to deal with it on the page.  Wrigley, a nationally recognized poet, is =
director of the UI's MFA program in creative writing.  He has written =
six books of poetry and has won awards for his work.  Sponsored by The =
Friends of the Moscow Library, he will speak at the library on Thursday, =

3.  It's still not too late to sign up for the Rocky Mountain Talent =
Search (RMTS).  I announced this in the bulletin at school a month ago, =
and several students have taken packets of information.  Anyone may take =
the ACT or SAT college entrance exam early, but the RMTS targets =
students (grades 5-9) who are academically talented. For more =
information, stop by Room 115 for a packet or visit their website at =
www.rockymountaintalentsearch.org for information about their summer =
institute.   It is still possible to take the January through June =
tests.=20
If you have questions about these opportunities, please give me a call =
at the junior high.
