Today was the first day of school in these parts. My older daughter started 7th grade and my younger daughter 1st grade. This being a back-to-school contest, here’s all you need to do:
1. Leave a comment describing some memory you have from either first or seventh grade. It can be funny, poignant, what have you, but certainly the more interesting the better, because it will give you an edge in the contest (see below).
2. Entries must be submitted by 12:00 PM Eastern Time September 5th, 2008. The five winners will be selected on Saturday, September 6th.
3. One winner will be selected by my older daughter, Rebecca, who will have sole discretion in deciding based on how much she likes the entries. (She will not be told the identity of the authors.)
4. Four winners will be drawn at random from the remaining entries.
5. I’ll notify the winners by email on September 6th and will inquire then that you provide your shipping address.
6. Contest open to U.S. and Canadian residents only. No P.O. Boxes please.
