McKenzie during the Federal Way game last week. Header!!
Last night as McKenzie and I were working on her homework and talking about this weekend, she told me that her I.S. teacher told her to enter one of her poems in a contest last month. Last night she showed me the email that says she will be published. :)
McKenzie,
Congratulations! Your poem was chosen for publication in our 2014 A Forest of Words teen poetry anthology! We hope to have the book printed by April and will send a copy with your name on it to your library branch. Look for a follow up email in the coming weeks to let you know when it is in and ready for you.
The best part of being a winning poet for A Forest of Words is a paid attendance to a teen poetry workshop taught by poet Matthew Brouwer. He is really an amazing teacher – teens enjoyed the workshop last year and we’re excited to bring him back.

She was pretty excited about it, and so was I! I haven't seen past issues of the book, but I will be going to the library to check them out! :)
Today, my list includes laundry, packing and more packing. We are off to a "quick" trip to Spokane this weekend for soccer.
