About This Market
The purpose of the Sarah Mook Memorial Poetry Contest is to acknowledge, encourage and reward the efforts of student poets. Sarah Gail Mook was a student in the third grade at Buckingham Friends School in Lahaska, Pennsylvania, when she died suddenly of an aortic aneurysm on December 14, 1995. Sarah started writing poems in kindergarten.
This year's awards will be $100 First prize, $50 Second Prize, and $25 Third Prize in each of four categories, grades K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12. You may enter up to two poems of any length on any subject. All poems must be typed or word-processed. Your name should NOT appear on the poems. Include a separate cover sheet with the poem titles, your name, grade, mailing address, the name of your school, and email address. Teachers are encouraged to submit multiple entries from the class. Please include a list of names, titles and grade level for each student, as well as the contact information for the school. Also include a self-addressed-stamped-envelope if you wish to receive the results by mail.
An optional donation of $5 (five dollars) payable to "Sarah Mook Outreach Fund" would be appreciated.
