| Teachers' Comments about Creative Communication
I want to tell you how excited my son and I are! I'm just jealous that he's becoming a published writer before me!! Josef and I share an enthusiasm for writing, though neither of us have really tried much poetry. Josef sits for hours, sketching and writing stories. We both love journals and short essays and I love his teachers encouraging poetry writing. As a parent, I'm thrilled with this honor for my child. In an awkward growing period, Josef's self esteem is soaring. As a teacher, I am happy to see a variety of students achieve this honor. Included from our school are remedial students, shy, reserved underachievers and the 'average' students who sometimes get lost amidst the special learners and gifted. Even though a cash prize would be nice, we have already been blessed beyond our hopes. Thank you. Thank you for rewarding the written word, in the recognition that it does truly come from the heart.

I want to thank you for selecting Bolton Central School for a grant last year. It will be used to help our students publish their work in our new Literary Magazine. This will boost self-confidence, especially for those students who do not play sports.
I hope we can continue to contribute to your book. My students are thrilled to see their work in such a wonderful publication! Thank you for your efforts.
